VOCM 590 kHz St John's Newfoundland and Labrador, almost booming indoors...

Hi there, this is actually the first time I've ever copied VOCM on a portable and certainly the first time I've copied them with an antenna indoors. The power of the induction loop I suppose - and my goodness does it make a difference. This signal from VOCM on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean can, at times, power into my QRH, but that's with the Elad and Wellbrook combination - over £1000 of equipment. Here is an equally good signal with a £60 portable receiver, a £20 variable capacitor and some wire I had lying around.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 14/03/18 at
00:30 hrs UTC using an XHDATA D-808 receiver. Thanks for watching.
