Longwave stations coming into Oxford UK quite nicely in the afternoon copied on the Sony ICF-SW55

 Hi there, thanks again to Graham, aka Radio Cruncher for sorting out my beloved ICF-SW55. Here are some daylight-hour longwave signals from Romania, Morocco, Algeria and Poland on the Sony, which just makes me feel good, lol.

Recorded on 06/02/2026 at 15:54 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antnena (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.

What's left of medium wave? quite a lot of good stuff - Radio Keralam 1476 kHz, United Arab Emirates

 Hi there, great music and a relatively strong signal from the United Arab Emirates. You can hear an ID towards the end of the recording, but I checked the content via a iink on their website anyway.

Recorded in Oxford on 09/11/25 at 00:28 hrs UTC using a Yaesu FRG-100, Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop entenna (outdoors) via an NTi AntennaJet RF aplitter and GI1000 Galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

USAF Emergency Action Message on 4724 kHz copied with the vintage Yaesu FRG-8800

 Hi there, great to finally hear another EAM on this frequency after quite some time - about 6 months I think. As usual, the FRG-8800 delivers - and is a pleasure to use.

I won't say when this was recorded because it won't help you hear it again lol.

Thanks for watching and 73.

Copying radio hams on the 40 metre band with the Tecsun S-2200X

 

Hi there, a quick tune through the 40 metre amateur band, copying a few transmissions on the very nice Tecsun S-2200X. SSB audio and stability is rather good. Not perfect by any means, but still a useful rig to have in the shack.

Copied using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors).

Thanks for watching and 73.

Antena Satelor 153 kHz Brasov Romania close at 20:00 hrs UTC now, so here is a nice afternoon signal

 Hi there, I don't get much of a chance to hear my favourite folk music these days, so here is a mid afternoon copy - and very nice too IMHO!

What's left on medium wave? IRIB Radio Ardabil 1512 kHz, Iran, strong S9 signal into Oxford UK

 Hi there, I thought I should copy a signal from Iran given they are a big presence on medium wave still, much more so than other countries in the region.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 04/11/25 at 00:19 hrs UTC using an Icom IC-R8600 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, only the 3rd time I've copied CFMB...the last being in 2018! Great to hear them again having spent only a few nights DXing on the MW band. Note the clear ID near the beginning of the video. Recorded in Oxford UK on 28/10/25 at 01:09 hrs UTC using an Icom IC-8600 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito?NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator.
