Optimizing the signal from Radio Tarma 4775 kHz Peru with an MFJ Noise Cancelling Signal Enhancer

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rX-_fmGXbk

Hi there, I decided to plug in the MFJ in an attempt to further clean up the signal from Radio Tarma. I haven't followed the instructions - it was way too late to get into that, so the settings for this video are based on my perception of the best signal. Recorded in Oxford UK on 17/06/26 at 01:17 hrs UTC using an end-fed long wire antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

Rádio Nacional da Amazônia 6180 kHz, Brazil, booming into Oxford on the IC-R75 and Wellbrook loop

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2EDAH6b9e0

Hi there, this is one of the strongest regional stations on shortwave...but it has a large area to cover anyway....Brazil is a large country. The IC-R75 is so good on sideband, but when adjacent signals allow, AM Wide delivers quite nice audio. Recorded in Oxford UK on 29/05/26 at xx:xx hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.
