Meteor Scatter - station noted in English at 0119 and 1123. Short bursts of reception, but can't immediately see anything listed here in the skip zone. Pings heard all night, mostly in pairs - the first with test tone (presume Sweden) and the second a couple of seconds later with music (Germany or Norway?). (Mark Hattam)
