To my great delight, also some SECAM-colour "fire" came thoroug! For best viewing here in Youtube, force the video quality to HD. Note that you can also add subtitling for the audio!
Receiving equipment/antennas are on a remote location because I live in a city apartment where no proper radio or TV hobbyist antennas are possible. All receivers were operated remotely, also the external tv tuner capable of SECAM-colour. Antenna for this capture was an 5 el VHF-low band Yagi. Unfortunately the screen capture video taken live over the Internet from my receiving location to my home jiggles a bit.

The station has just recently started and is fully licenced to operate on 6185 kHz from Raasepori, South-West Finland. It currently has an output power of only 15 Watts. The recordings on this video were made of the actual live RMR shortwave transmission received in Norway, over 600 kilometers away. The clips are in chronological order and the reception quality vary according to prevailing propaganation.
The Station Master and operator himself - Joakim - is still on his teens, but does already an absolutely amazing job! Note, that this was only the stations 3rd weekend on the air!
This transmision also featured custom made one-hour shows by close supporters DJ MAC and Delta Mike. SSTV clips were provided by Koe Kone.
All music on this compiled recording has been cut out to an ablolute minimum to avoid any copyright strikes, none are intended. The audio quality is also very poor and not supporting any proper listening.

Weak DAB-signals on channel 10B were received here in South-West Finland from multiple transmitters carrying the same DAB-service (E0-1148/ rbb BRB-BLB K10B) in Germany, over a maximum distance of 1 095,2 km (EDIT: 1 120,3 km) !
These transmitters could be identified and shown on the map in real-time using DAB TII (Transmitter Identification Information) and suitable software (here QIRX). A long distance tropospheric propaganation varies slightly while present and thus carries signals from different locations resulting in a fascinating flashdance of DAB-network in action! Screen recording is fast-forwarded for better illustration.

73's from 80's, holmch66DAB DX 2023: DAB radio DX-reception of 268 km during tropo from Estonia Kapu/Koeru DAB 7A to FinlandKoe Kone2023-01-23 | Tropospheric DAB-radio propagation reveived on SW-coast of Finland in the late afternoon 23rd of January 2023. Tropo moved from west to south so that now Estonian low power DAB+ test transmitters (0,8 kW?) on channels 7A Koeru ja 10A Tallin could be receiver here in SW Finland. The distances wwere 268 and 166 km. My antenna today for this SE-direction was 13 element yagi on city apartment roof in Turku at 48 meters above sea level and nf 0,6 dB LNA. I decoded the mux using QIRX sw but the AGC of the software was unfortunately not stable.

It was DAB+ 11A channel from Stavanger, Norway. This tropo tunnel was stable for many hours and it was 1st time DAB-reception from Norway for me. The distance was 938 km.

Reception distance 382 km.
At that time (July 2021) this mux was scrambled, so only the spectrum, reception quality and service information appear on the screen. Since that at least Al Jazeera on that mux has changed to FTA, at least when I reveived it again during 2022.

Reception distance 282 km. FTA Al Jazeera news about the brand new James Webb telescoope.
Finally a succesful demuxing of Östhammar E6 DVB T2 mux, that often appears in the spectrum during tropo, but for some reason very rarely locks. Maybe co-interference from some other tropo range transmitter on same frequency?

It was received during mild tropo conditions over a distance of 268 km here in Turku, SW Finland, in a city apartment at 48 meters above sea level using an 13 el VHF-yagi antenna.
Note: The other test transmission on ch 10A from Tallin Teletower (181 km) at the same time was much weaker, see for spectrum captures below: ibb.co/G3jhFv2Digital TV DX 2022 - Long distance DVB-T reception of 705 km during tropo conditions, Poland-FinlandKoe Kone2022-08-03 | Recorded on August 3rd, 2022 early morning hours, this video shows Gdansk DVB-T channel E6 mux found, locked and FTA services opened over a distance of 705 km during exellent tropo conditions.
Reception antenna was a vertically polarized 13 el VHF-III band wideband Yagi equipped with a low noise amplifier (LNA n.f. 0,6 dB) at a height of 48 meters over sea level in Turku, SW-Finland.

Many distant FM-stations across the Baltic Sea were logged here on that same day... Note how a FM-signal received during similar conditions just few days earlier fluctuates while finding its way throug forming temperature inversions over the sea. Location and angle of view shown here: http://bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2179#msg2179
(www.dxinfocentre.com): Marine Tropo occurs when warm dry air overrides a cooler body of water. Marine inversions often extend the entire breadth of lakes and can extend for thousands of miles over the ocean. It also spreads into coastal areas by way of sea or lake breezes. Marine tropo can become enhanced or combined with other types such as High-Pressure Tropo. It normally peaks during the afternoon when the inversion is the strongest. Outside of the equatorial zone, spring and early summer is the best season.(www.dxinfocentre.com)
