Hi there, I love a hot day in Autumn and the 1st of October 2026 in Oxford UK was that day. Nothing better than to soak up the sunshine and have a tune through the shortwave bands with the brilliant MLite-880 coupled to my end-fed wire antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, the Tecsun performs as well as the NRD535 on this (albeit) quite strong daylight signal from Pennsylvania. Let me know what you think - note I am using the same antenna for both radios. Recorded in Oxford UK on 29/08/26 at 15:20 UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop via an NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, I always listen to the football on the Radio on a Saturday and Sunday afternoon.....and of course it has to be medium wave AM! Whilst doing so last weekend, I wondered whether it would be possible to copy the same broadcast on shortwave via the World Service, with an indoor antenna...turns out it was! Recorded on 13/09/26 at 16:49 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, up to my usual tricks, getting out into the garden as soon as the sun comes out! Nothing better than some autumn sunshine to make you feel like summer weather might not be completely over for another year! Here the S-2200x demonstrates how there is still a lot to listen to on shortwave!

Thanks for watching and 73.

MLite-880: testing sensitivity, audio bandwidth & noise reduction on a signal from North Korea DPRK

Hi there, this Voice of Korea French Service signal was copied in Oxford UK, on 10/09/26 at 14:07 hrs UTC, using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop. The noise reduction and audio bandwidth options work very well indeed.

So far, so good with this clever little radio.

Thanks for watching and 73.
