Minor tropo lift 23.-27.10.2007

October usually offers good tropospheric conditions but not every year. There hasn't been good tropo openings this autumn so far so I'm sure many listeners have waited for those. Well, somewhat better tropospheric propagation was available in the end of October, between the days of 23 and 27 October. Nothing fancy but Oslo of Norway was reached anyway. Plenty of Swedish transmitters from Västernorrland, Västerbotten, Jämtland, Uppland, Västmanland, Dalarna and Gävleborg were audible - however not so much PLR stations. Some catches as examples:

88.5V 1608 FIN: Club FM, Helsinki. Kaarina-tx. ID. Was heard everyday during 23.-27.10.2007 fading in and out above the noise and YLE's QRM. Mostly quite weak. 23.10.2007

88.7H 0931 NOR: NRK P1. Oslo-tx. NoID. Heard this one several times already in Aitoo and Turku. 24.10.2007

93.6V 0016 S: 106,7 Mix Megapol Gävle, Gävle. Sandviken-tx. 400 W repeater according to onair.nu. "106,7 Gävle Sandviken Mix Megapol". This was the best catch from this tropo period. 26.10.2007
