Down here was good day & today (after about 3 mouths with no much just some kind of ground propagation with mainly few Turkey & Romania) can hear UK again EU40 mid band & UK band ch 21 but did not get station id (also spoke at EU40 ch27 with 26LR175 Derbyshire) ... by evening was few Spanish... also after long time heard taxis mainly ladies perhaps from Base stations (eastern Europe languages) ... ch20 EU40 band the Swedish repeater 21KM10 managed to pass few times voice & dtmf tones activation... Also EU40 band heard my self at ch7 & 35 some repeaters... & also heard 3 German languages... Seems the good propagation for my area came back right after the summer's long overheat
EDIT & 2 days ago managed to catch (had to go up hills) DAB+ from Swiss (Alps) for first time about 1200km far
EDIT2 ... forgot late evening some USA activity AM mode EU40 mid band, Johnny be bad down town London (as he is saying) always can be heard mainly ch6 ... also heard west coast of Scotland at ch28 speaking with few US stations

Oh thanks, seems dx is getting me there (needs the right day) but this time path is closed, can not hear them ... i am only at free CB Band for now mainly FM, sometime later is in the program to get license for more wide options... currently only ch19 can hear at UK Band, hope later will be better...yesterday i was not home all day so i don't know what dx was Right now ch 11 EU40 FM heard 5 times strong signal 4/5 from Finland ( i am sure lang are Finnish, spoke one time there) but disappeared quick, in general till now skips does not last today for now
EDIT just to mention 26OW01 the day before also was using ch26 at EU mid band
EDIT2 ch27 appeared UK 2 speaking signals floating 1-3 out of 5 & disappearing for some good time, so did not tried to call under these conditions as checking & ch11 & ch20 the 21KM10 repeater which will get me there from time to time till now, i am sure later will be better
EDIT3 Yes EU40 ch27 is Derbyshire ... UK Band starts opening ch2, 4 religious, 6 religious, 7 religious, 8 SSB, 9 religious, 17, ch19, ch20, 22 is a lady there, 24, 30, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38, 40, some are weak for now

Yesterday Sunday i went for dab+ catches up to hill Agia Anna Corfu & so this time i also got the very old Eurosonic ES200 which did catch few stations at UK Band, but the small stock antenna will not get me anywhere (output 3.5W measured at home with SW meter) ... up to ch10 was few SSB stations in between the UK freqs, example can hear them at ch4&5
