Rádio Nacional de Angola 4949.7 kHz first non-SDR reception at home

Hi there, a weak signal from Angola heard on my Yaesu FRG-8800 receiver and the Wellbrook ALA1530 (indoors). This is the first time I've heard Angola at home on any radio other then the Elad. It's interesting that I mentioned to a friend yesterday, in most cases, DX can be heard more clearly outdoors with a modest world band receiver and a length of wire of a relatively cheap E-field antenna than at home with expensive equipment. Nevertheless, this was a pleasing catch on the vintage Yaesu. Thanks for watching.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 17/07/17 around 02:15 hrs UTC.
