Hi there, great to copy RNZI last Saturday morning (07/11/26) at 10:07 hrs UTC, using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, outdoors. A comparison video using the same signal on my Icom IC-R8600 is coming! Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, the signal from Peru has improved over the past week. Here they are playing their typical Andean music, back-to-back. I was waiting for an ID, which eventually came - in the next video. Recorded in Oxford UK on 17/06/26 at 00:42 hrs UTC using an end-fed long wire antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

INDOOR £35 magnetic loop: great to copy Santa Maria Aeronautical Radio 5598 kHz USB, Azores

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4AF78qiuMs

Hi there, I wasn't expecting to be able to hear Santa Maria with an indoor aerial, but here they are - and with a signal inexcess of S9 +20 and approaching +40 if the Eton's signal strength meter is to be believed. Not too shabby for a £35 layout. Recorded in Oxford on 17/10/26 at 00:11 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, I've nearly given in to the idea that good weather is no more in Oxford! 17.5 degrees C at the end of October is pretty nice though - and of course there's some brief radio chat. Thanks for watching and 73.
