I am a fan of NDB listening. Not only because you get nice QSL replies, but also because the NDB List group organizes a “Coordinated Listening Event” every month. It is fun and you can compare your own reception results with those of other enthusiasts.
On the 309th listening evenent running from October 25th-27th the aim was to log up to 8 beacons from each Maidenhead square. Maidenhead is the locator system used by radio amateurs.
Conditions to the north and north west were not good. But that was more than compensated for by good conditions to Russia on the first night. In total I logged beacons from 19 Maidenhead squares and I was able to reach the max 8 for 8 of them. You can see the results below.

Impressive log there Peter, well done !
And thanks to PskovNDB I presume 😉
73, Patrick in JO11wc
Yep, without Pskov nothing flies at my location. I participated in a CLE event using the SDR of the Mediumwave Circle in Scotland… all by ear. And it was close to magic. As any realtor will tell you: location location location!
73s, Peter
