Daylight morning signals from Iceland on Longwave, copied in Oxford, UK

Hi there, this is quite unusual and in my experience not possible on a portable; both signals from RÚV Rás 1/Rás 2, Gufuskalar and Eiðar clearly heard in daylight at my QTH in Oxford, UK. As usual, their signal on 207 kHz was a lot stronger on 207 kHz than 189 kHz which although present, wasn't very audible. Now, I was using the brilliant Perseus (audio via the Bose SoundLink Mini 2) and the equally brilliant Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, which makes the difference of course.

Recorded on 18/12/17 at
11:16 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, outdoors. Thanks for watching.
