General comments

VCP issues, alternating scans seem heavily filtered (?).

No obvious problems with gaps in data or ground clutter. Some rain contamination events, but not many. Overall patterns of bird activity look good and reasonable.

Parameters

0: not available, 1: available, 2: poor quality, 3: good quality

Volume coverage pattern

The Danish radars seem to have two main VCP's, on the full 5 minutes scans generally look like this (for DK/SIN, with slight variation in elevation angles):

on the full 10 minutes (00:00, 00:10, ...)

DK/VIR and DK/BOR have slightly fewer scans but roughly cover the same elevation angle range. DK/VIR also has a 89 degree scan.
