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

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCpX78rsei8

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.

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.

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.

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.

New York Radio 5520 kHz ATC: Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico & Florida Waters, copied with the Eton E1

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTeYRH5cH1Y

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.

Radio Algérie Chaîne 3, 252 kHz daylight signal in the woods on the Sony ICF-SW100 internal ferrite

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvmVkC3QddY

Hi there, can't think of a much prettier place to be listening to the radio, than the woods in West Oxfordshire, near my QTH. Shortwave was a bit dead, but here's a nice copy of Algeria on longwave. Thanks for watching and 73.

Strong signal from UR1 Pershiy kanal 1278 kHz, Ukraine, S9+ signal into Oxford UK

Hi there, I only decided to record this because their signal was so strong and very consistent. Peace to all.
