The following is a report from the south coast of Barbados. I did not notice
any TES (Trans-Equitorial Skip) this year on the FM band, which is unusual. I
did not have access to a TV that was not connected to a satellite dish, so I
was unable to see if any TES affected the low TV band.
Receiver used was my Sangean 818, and I was on a second floor balcony faceing
SW.
The Barbados local stations are indicated with an *, which, of course, were
received every day. The reception was generally about 10 pm Bds time, which is
1 hr. ahead of EST.
