Hi there, it's been a while since I recorded a HARS net...here I am calling into the net on top band and listening as the net progresses down the list of operators. Thanks for watching and 73.

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. Recorded on 26/03/26 in Oxford UK using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

What's left on medium wave in the UK? BBC Asian Network 828 kHz only 200 Watts TX power!

 

Hi there, I love asian music and this station plays a lot of it of course - definitely worth a listen. Only transmitting with 200 Watts of power, but a lovely copy in Oxford.

Testing the Tecsun S2200X on single sideband shortwave signals: CHU Canada on 7850 and 3330 KHz

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.

Medium wave signals from across the Atlantic Ocean: CFMB 1280 kHz, Montreal, Canada

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. Recorded in Oxford UK on 10/01/26 at 01:00 hrs UTC using an Icom IC-8600 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito?NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

BBC Radio Wales 882 kHz and BBC Radio scotland 810 kHz both strong signals during the day in Oxford

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. Recorded on 19/03/26 at 16:15 hrs UTC using a superb Yaesu FRG-7 and a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors). via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Antena Satelor from Brasov, Romania 153 kHz copied from Oxford UK in the afternoon at 16:45 hrs UTC

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. Recorded on 05/01/26 using a Yaesu FRG-8800 and a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and a GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.
