FM DX 24/05/2008: RTE 1 Ireland 88.4 MHz received in Germany via Sporadic-E

[DorsetRadio]

To receive DX is great.

To also be able to capture the moment with a camera and then upload it for all to see is SUPER :)

@DorsetRadio You're right, the possibilities provided by digital cameras and the internet are fantastic. I remember the times when it was only possible to share DX recordings with fellow DXers during regional meetings. Thanks for watching and comments. 73 Matthias

@senderjaeger If I may ask, did you do some of your dx-ing using a taxi in your free time ? :)

[DorsetRadio]

@senderjaeger If you don't mind my asking, did you use to do some dx-ing in a taxi, in your free time?

[senderjaeger]

@DorsetRadio No, I'm not a taxi driver (and have never been). If I do mobile DXing I do it in my own private car.

[DorsetRadio]

@senderjaeger OK, sorry, don' t mean to be nosey! :)

Only asked because I used to know someone by the same name (Matthias) who is also a dx-er and he would practise the hobby from his professional car.

[senderjaeger]

@DorsetRadio I know whom you're taling about. ;) The guy (mathiasvolta) is among my YouTube subscribers and I've also met him in German DX forums. 73

[DorsetRadio]

@senderjaeger Ha-ha small world :)

And YouTube/Internet makes it even smaller :)

Either Casla, Galway 3kw or Knockmoyle, Kerry 1kw. Nice catch!

[senderjaeger]

Thx for your feedback! Yeah, I really enjoyed that catch being my first sporadic-e reception from Ireland since June 1995 (then heard RTE 1 on 88.5 and Limerick 95).

What kind of game did they broadcast?

[yogi540]

This was the Heineken European Rugby cup final Munster (Ireland) v Toulouse ( France). Munster won.

[senderjaeger]

Thanks for the info. I assumed it was Rugby but wasn't sure as there are some exotic "Ireland specific" games. ;-)
