First day (8.6.2012): Morocco on FM in Utö!!

Results from the first day were excellent!! The whole crew heard Morocco. The station was MFM Oriental, Béni Mellal-transmitter on 89.2 MHz (16 kW) airing adverts and audio-ID. This skip is 3685 km. Great start for the pedition! The other id'ed station was SNRT Al Idaâ Al-Watania (national radio channel in Morocco) on 88.8 MHz. Most likely tx-Meknes 10 kW.
Also some France (Oui FM R. de la Mer) and Spain (Kiss FM, COPE, RNE). One surprise was Lightning FM 90.8, a pirate station from London, UK (brief skip)!! 

We have a competition goin on: Who catches the most distant signal during this pedition gets Utö DXing-baseball-cap. At the moment this price is heading to MB (Marko). He digged the audio-id first and identified this Moroccon station. Also tentatively from the same tx-tower was heard Radio Mars 91.6 MHz. Unfortunately no id. Heard by JTK.
It is very hard to beat this record during this pedition anymore. The price for competition is  a baseball-cap (photo below) signed to Utö pedition 2012!

Hieno alku, onnea jatkollekin!
Mutta olikos nuo ainoat kuullut vai vain parhaat?

Lähes ainoita idattuja nuo olivat. Ilmeen heikko ja selektiivinen keli.
