Massive Lift

Well the last couple of days have been interesting. All the local stations went and were replaced by VERY strong Dutch, French and German stations. This was caused by a temperature inversion due to the the difference in low and high pressure. Good to see so many stations on uiview but did make local contacts almost impossible.
