FM Logs - 8 May 2021

 My first few logs of the 2021 Sporadic E season. This was done with my ELAD FMD-S2 and SDR Console. The nice thing this season is that SDRC now supports the sensitive RDSpy software for station PI codes and RDS.

A nice opening with the return of Rouen in France. This is only the second time I have seen this. Also for the first time is Calais on 5B. Up until last year 5B was blocked by a local in Den Haag. Now that it is free I'm hearing NAM-LUX-1 and Calais.

Also some nice U.K stations.
