Hi there, I fell asleep DXing and just happened to have the Icom IC-R71E tuned to 4925 kHz. E06 woke me up in the middle of the night. I was half asleep and didn't even think to change the demodulation mode. Anyway, still clear in AM.

So it appears that the frequency accuracy of the Tecsun S2200X is actually very good. So close, that it is impossible to check on AM. However, on sideband it reads 120 Hz up. Pretty good IMO.

Hi there, only the 4th time I've copied CFMB...the last being in October 2025. Great to hear them again having spent only a few nights DXing on the MW band. Note the clear ID near the beginning of the video.

Hi there, long live Wales and Scotland on medium wave AM radio in the UK. I think they will last because there are very remote regions across those parts of the country.

Hi there, great to hear Antena Satelor with multiple IDs in the afternoon from the UK. You can't hear them in the evenings any more - I miss the great folk music they used to play all night.

Hi there, great to copy my favourite station on shortwave with one of the greats from the 1970s...the iconic FRG-7700. With an excellent reputation for MW DXing, this rig also performs on HF, but it makes me happy just looking at it lol.

Hi there, nice to copy this station in Grenada again - and they were kind enough to contact me via this channel, recently. Check out the recovered audio in the wide and narrower AM AF filter.

Good to hear Morocco represented so well on AM radio in both the longwave and medium wave bands. Their reported TX power is 50 kW and coming into Oxford quite nicely via the wonderful FRG-8800.

Hi there, according to the www.mwlist.org website (which is great by the way), this station in The Netherlands transmits with only 10W of TX power. Never heard them before - it's amazing what you can dig up on medium wave if you actually bother to listen in, night after night.

Hi there, I have never heard a message error correction made during an EAM transmission. Just goes to show what a bit of late night/early morning perserverence can deliver!

Hi there, a bit later on the morning, the signal from New Zealand picked up somewhat. It still blows my mind that I'm intercepting electromagnetic radiation generated on the other side of the planet! Here the audio is enhanced via the Bose SoundLink Mini 2 speaker. Rather nice I think given the miles and miles lol.

Hi there, I copied the Vatican Radio interval signal this afternoon (03/02/26 around 15:30 hrs UTC. It's just a lovely thing for your ears to behold! Copied using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors). Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, it's been a long time since I copied TWR on this frequency. Great to hear them still on-air and of course, their signal booms into Southern England at least with their reported 1MW of TX power. Their TX location is strategically important because they're able to target Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia with one transmitter.

Hi there, Claude couldn't find "Sanwick" or "Soda Pop" indexed within EAM information on the web, but then perhaps that's not surprising, HFGS callsigns are regularly rotated. Anyway, maybe someone out there has more information.

Hi there, with the war now ongoing in the Middle East, the BBC and NHK World Radio Japan have started emergency programming into Iran. Here are some of the details.
Peace and love to all, from OSL.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-snllVXW2R8
Hi there, great to hear a signal on medium wave at this distance from my QTH. Even with a reported TX power of 300 kW, this signal wasn't exactly booming in on the Yaesu FRG-7700. I think I can obtain a higher quality copy with a better receiver, but I'm pleased anyway.

Hi there, here's another comparison of these two brilliant radios but with audio via my Bose SoundLink Mini 2 speaker. Sort of helps to further level up the playing field. To my ears, the reception is the same, but the audio is still slightly superior on the E1. Let me know your views. By the way, I'm using the signal from Radio New Zealand Pacific as the target.
