Hi there, the signal from Peru has improved over the past week. Here they are playing their typical Andean music, back-to-back. I was waiting for an ID, which eventually came - in the next video. Recorded in Oxford UK on 17/06/26 at 00:42 hrs UTC using an end-fed long wire antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

INDOOR £35 magnetic loop: great to copy Santa Maria Aeronautical Radio 5598 kHz USB, Azores

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4AF78qiuMs

Hi there, I wasn't expecting to be able to hear Santa Maria with an indoor aerial, but here they are - and with a signal inexcess of S9 +20 and approaching +40 if the Eton's signal strength meter is to be believed. Not too shabby for a £35 layout. Recorded in Oxford on 17/10/26 at 00:11 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Happy Halloween! 17.5 degrees C in Oxford on the 31st of October and a little chat about radio...

Hi there, I've nearly given in to the idea that good weather is no more in Oxford! 17.5 degrees C at the end of October is pretty nice though - and of course there's some brief radio chat. Thanks for watching and 73.

The last time I ever copied CHU Canada time signal on 14.670 MHz - using the JRC NRD535

Hi there, this one is for the collection of historical signals that are no more. Copied in the UK on 21/06/26 at 22:57 hrs UTC using a JRC NRD535 and an end-fed wire via the MFJ noise cancelling system. Thanks for watching and 73.

Calling into the Harwell Amateur Radio Society Friday night net on 1.846 MHz top band with the TS990

Hi there, this rig is a pleasure to use - and 200W out of the box, so no messing around with linears. Perfect for a lazy radio amateur like me lol. Thanks for watching and 73,

JRC NRD535 + MFJ Noise Cancelling Signal Enhancer + Bose: Radio Mosoj Chaski Bolivia on 3310 kHz

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0V06qrk9OY

Hi there, this station is one of the most difficult to resolve any audio, but with the help of my noise phasing MFJ, I obtained a really nice result. This station is never going to deliver armchair copy to the UK without a huge antenna, but this does demonstrate what's possible when conditions are good. The MFJ is a bit fiddly, but it does work to improve overall SNR and of course the audio is helped by the Bose SoundLink Mini 2 speaker. Recorded in Oxford UK on 19/06/26 at 00:14 hrs UTC using my end-fed longwire antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

Reach Beyond Australia, Voice of Korea + many more copied with the MLite-880 and £35 indoor antenna

Hi there, it seems possible to copy some really nice DX with a good radio and a magnetic loop antenna, indoors. My antenna combo of passive magnetic loop and low impedance converter amp works very well indeed - and at such a low price. Recorded in Oxford UK on 09/10/2026 at 13:53 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.
