Hi there, great to finally hear some audio from Bolivia again after an absence of nearly 9 months. I check often, but their signal has been so weak there was never a chance of any modulation above my fairly low noise floor. Recorded in Oxford UK on 20/05/26 at 23:56 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.

Hi there, don't read the frequency on the rig, this narrow channel marker signal carrier is actually 0.8 kHz. Great to record this signal for the first time. Recorded in Oxford, UK on 10/05/26 at 23;27 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, I decided to have another go at low-power FT8 last night. I have been known to throw up to 300W at FT8, but it's actually more rewarding to make contacts with low power. Here's a few and a narrative. Thanks for watching and 73.
Hi there, I don't often listen to comms from Shanwick, but had a go the other evening. Coming in loud and clear to my QTH near Oxford. Recorded on 09/05/26 at 22:59 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, via a Bonito/NTo AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, a decent afternoon signal from the DPRK closing down their Russian Service. I've not listened out for the Voice of Korea for some time, but here they are again, still going on shortwave. Recorded in Oxford UK on 08/05/26 at 15:55 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, this is a weak signal but a first ever catch for me, which is always great. At least now I know it's possible to copy VOLMET from Thailand, I will be checking this frequency more often to obtain a better signal. Recorded on 30/04/26 at 23:11 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, outdoors, via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, The Buzzer has been weak at best for a long time now, until the early hours of this morning that is. Great to hear that Cold War artifact again on a radio that almost matches the era! Recorded on 08/07/26 at 00:15 hrs UTC using a JRC NRD535 and a long-wire antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.
