Apropo of nothing just a decent image

What this image does not show is how much the wind has increased since the pre-dawn calm. The reason for the wind increase is implied from the image though as the storm system over France starts to influence weather in south-east England. To minimise wind loading I have set the dish to point at F5ZTR on 3cm and can see a weak but continuous signal from this beacon.

At 191km distant it is close to the theoretical trans-horizon limit from here.
