FM DX, London, England 1/2

Is the reception of Dutch, German and French stations normal in London or it is caused by good tropo conditions?

A pity it's too dark...

But you were lucky to get some tropo I think. After 2 years there with my Onkyo T-4711 and a Yagi-antenna I never managed to receive anything from the Netherlands or Belgium in central London. Only French radios from Lille-Bouvigny were present regularly.

In which part of the city was this recording made? I suppose it is somewhere in the suburbs...

Pity indeed...

Even bigger because of low light my next video with DAB receptions is not suitable for uploading. RX "Revo's" Heritage display was not enough bright...

I forgot to mention my location - 51°31'33.80"N 0°06'47.75"W

Altitude 25m. It seems to be in between Bloomsbury, Grays Inn and Clerkenwell, zone 1.

Then this makes your recording even more incredible!

I used to live very close to your location of reception (about 1 km. westwards from it) ... Good job!
