 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3_Y9HDxslk


Hi there, just testing the FRG-7700 on a few MW signals. This station in Lithuania almost booms into Oxford, but perhaps not surprisingly with their 75kW TX power. Recorded in Oxford UK on 06/04/26 at 23:11 hrs UTC using a Yaesu FRG-7700 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

What's left on medium wave? IRIB World Service Kiashahr, Iran 702 kHz copied with the Tecsun S2200X

Hi there, this is a timely reception giving what's going on in Iran right now and how the United States will respond. Not an easy catch and so I continue to be quite impressed with the S2200X. Recorded in Oxford UK at 01;45 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and a GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

What's left on medium wave? VOCM 590 kHz Newfoundland & Labrador, copied with the Tecsun S2200X

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxN6Cqqkoig

Hi there, here's a nice DX copy from VOCM using the rather good S2200X coupled to one of my Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loops. After a stuttering start, I've been impressed with this radio on medium wave and longwave. Not properly tested on shortwave yet, but the signs are very promising. Recorded in Oxford UK on 13/01/25 at 01:16 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, this is our friend Jon, closing VORW Radio International this morning as copied from Oxford, UK with my ALA1530 magnetic loop. My goodness that chap plays some good music - I particularly enjoyed The Who this morning. Anyway, respect to Jon for sticking with shortwave - we should all be grateful! Thanks and 73

Hi there, great to copy a signal from Kuwait on medium wave. This is the Voice of America relay of course, but that's all good as far as I'm concerned. A catch is a catch! Recorded in Oxford UK on 02/04/26 at 00:13 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.
