Hi there, this recording of the Shipping Forecast was taken on the morning of 15/04/26. It will be such a shame when they close for good next month Enjoy the lovely tones of AM radio on longwave until then. Recorded using an Eton E1 coupled to a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors). Thanks for watching and 73.

Santa Maria (AZR) Oceanic ATC 6628 kHz USB, Azores with the Icom IC-705 and my end-fed wire antenna

Hi there, I haven't used the 705 for much DXing since I bought it. I guess I have enough radios for that already lol. However, as a portable SDR receiver with built-in spectrum scope/waterfall etc., it probably can't be beaten. Recorded in Oxford UK on 09/04/24 at 00:26 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Radio Nacional da Amazonia 6180 kHz, Brasilia, Brazil copied in Oxford UK with the Yaesu FRG-7700

Hi there, great to copy some decent DX with the FRG-7700. Not quite as sensitive at the FRG-8800, but you have to love the 1970s industrial design and super audio.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 06/04/26 at 00:01 hours UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop (outdoors) via a Bonito GI1000 galvanic isolator and AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.

The 'Buzzer' UVB-76/NZhTI on 4625 kHz is back whilst The 'Pip' S30 on 3756 kHz never went away

Hi there, The Goose, The Alarm etc. have disappeared but The Pip remains constant and The Buzzer comes and goes. It's back again - at least at my QTH in Oxford. Recorded on 09/05/26 at 22:46 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Medium wave DX: Radio Keralam 1476 kHz, United Arab Emirates copied with the Icom IC-R8600

 Hi there, great to hear the UAE again on medium wave. Their signal has been stronger in Oxford, but the Icom still does a great job of demodulating the available signal.

Recorded on 01/04/26 at 00:37 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors), via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, great to hear New York Radio again, this time on the world's greatest ever shortwave portable (just) the Eton E1. Only the Sony ICF-2001D comes (very) close. But the PBT just edges it for me, for the E1.
