Hard-core DX with a 22 cm antenna! Alcaravan Radio 5910 kHz Colombia us...

Hi there, if you thought the reception of CKZN St John's was special, in my opinion, this weaker copy of Alcarvan Radio is even more amazing. This station is incredibly difficult to hear at all in Europe and to copy music from them using a 22 cm antenna says it all. Obviously you get the best performance (i.e. SNR) from an E-field antenna in an electrically quiet environment, but wow, the results are something else. When you consider price and portability, this performance is quite incredible. 

Recorded in the woods in Oxford UK on 03/06/17 at 00:39 hrs UTC using a Sony ICF-2001D receiver. Thanks for watching.
