Propagation - Stayed on 87.9 overnight. Lots of Opalis bursts via tropo, but also one big one to Poland lasting around 3 minutes.
Nothing all day on 87.6 MHz apart from Premiere (Belgium) occasionally breaking through the noise. Then at 1702 R Cuore alone for 16 minutes. Couple of brief flashes of other PI's in the intervening hours.
Then ... WOW ... more Italy and Tunisia up til 2130 UTC. E's this late !!
