There are many websites dedicated to TVDX but none have related specifically to Band I and what is available to European DXers via Sporadic E and eventually TEP and F layer propagation.  For the last few years I've been collecting on screen logos as well as sourcing them from the net to aid identification of the many different signals available during the summer months of Sporadic E. Using data from the UKWTV club, my own loggings and ITU transmitter lists I've compiled a number of maps showing what targets are available in both Western and Eastern Europe as well as some of the closer Middle East and African transmitters. One feature I'm pleased to include on the  website is a Google map showing band 1 transmitters that are likely targets during Sp E, clicking on any of the markers will bring up details of the station and a  link takes you to the on screen logo.

Not much has changed this year, I've changed the remote tuner to a dedicated audio feed of 27.555MHz USB, this is a great propagation indicator for all modes especially Sporadic E, the feed page can be found here.

Spectral waterfall images of a signal are another way of identifying individual transmitters, while most will only produce a single clean trace many of the Russian and East European transmitters appear to have a life of their own so there's a selection of the most unstable and bizarre that I've recorded.

I'll be updating the site as time allows this season with new logos and any news on closures and countries now not using B1. Don't forget to check the live stream, if B1 isn't open it could be showing UHF signals, both analogue and DTT from France.
