Tomorrow is forecast to be even better.... http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo_eur.html
I am sure i will hear lots of people asking for "rig checks" & giving "Rogers" on 2 meters as its the norm without a propagation lift :lol:

The 70cm Hilversum repeater is the first to be received in Norwich with even the slightest lift. I didn't have anytime for radio over the weekend but would have loved to try for Danish repeaters as the propagation was good to there.

I must say I was very disappointed with 70cms in my area I though great a nice bit of fog when I went out but I didn't get very much, I hit lots of repeaters though.
