A tune through the shortwave bands using a wire antenna in a noisy office - using the Tecsun S2200x

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykIgG6FTZto

Hi there, I wasn't expecting to hear anything at all in this environment, but it just goes to show that there are still a few powerful broadcasters left on shortwave that can push through a very high noise-floor! Thanks for watching and 73.

St. Petersburgh VOLMET 6617 kHz copied with the Tecsun S-2200X receiver and Wellbrook ALA1530

Hi there, the modulated audio coming out of St Petersburgh isn't great, but good enough and not a function of the S-2200X demodulation capabilities. I'm becoming increasingliy impressed with this rig. Recorded in Oxford UK on 05/02/26 at 01:34 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Enjoy the Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4 longwave 198 kHz whilst you can: Sony ICF-2001D

Hi there, nothing greater than listening to longwave on one of the best portable radios of all time - the Sony ICF-2001D. We will never see its like again, so make yours a keeper, as I have mine! Thanks for watching and 73.

United States Air Force HFGCS Emergency Action Message 8992 kHz on Icom IC-R8600

Hi there, another USAF EM - perhaps not surprisingly given what's going on the World these days. Only an OK signal which does improve at times throughout the recording. Coupled to a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop, the Icom IC-R8600 is simply superb. Thanks for watching and 73.

E07 "The English Man" Russian numbers station copied on 14458 kHz with the Tecsun S-2200X

Hi there, fantastic to catch E07 again with the S-2200X. Similarly good SSB stability and an even stronger signal with the radio coupled to the ALA1530 magnetic loop. Check transmission times on Priyom.com; recorded in Oxford on 20/02/2026 at 15:20 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

New York Radio 5550 kHz ATC: Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico & Florida Waters, copied with Tecsun S-2200X

Hi there, another first copy for me - New York Radio ATC on the slightly higher frequency of 5550 kHz. Great job from the Tecsun S-2200X. Maybe after all, it is good on HF!

Recorded on 02/02/26 at 01:44 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors).

Thanks for watching and 73.

A strong signal from Rádio Nacional da Amazônia 6180 kHz, Brazil, on the Tecsun S-2200X

Hi there, a strong signal from Brazil, but another station in the background can also be heard. I think so far, I would describe the shortwave performance of this rig as adequate. More testing to come and I might change my mind. I want it to be brilliant, but at this stage I'm not sure it will be. Recorded in Oxford UK on 31/01/26 at 01:02 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors). Thanks for watching and 73.
