101.5 DRS1 Säntis - tropo 952km with RDS!!

Switzerland in central Poland via TROPO!! The reception lasted for OVER 10 HOURS!!! Once with RDS PS DRS_1_SG at about 15:30 UTC. This is my new record - the longest tropo-ducting reception with RDS. I also received France today - first time via tropo - 94.9 France Inter 1358km.
Watch in 720p for best audio quality.

Wow, that is fantastic reception Konrad! It seems that there was some very intense ducting earlier this week. I hope we see something similar in the UK soon.

I have also received Wendelstein here in southern England via tropo in October 2007 with a strong signal from Bayern 1 on 93.7MHz at a distance of around 1040 km.

Brilliant!

Never seen such long landline-paths by tropo before!

And the reception quality!

U should apply for a QSL from DRS.
