Rádio Nacional da Amazônia 11780 kHz, Brazil copied in Oxford UK at 00:35: hrs UTC using the IC-R75

Hi there, for obvious reasons, this signal is a difficult catch in the early hours of the morning, UK time. I was therefore pleased to have copied sufficient audio to warrant making this reception video. Recorded using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna. Thanks for watching and 73.

Radio Pilipinas 15190.2 kHz copied on the JRC NRD535 with noise cancelling and antenna matching

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Em3r1_98l-k

Hi there, not heard these guys for over two years, so great to copy them again with the NRD535. I had to use SSB because of adjacent channel noise, but nevertheless, decent audio with the assistance of the Bose speaker.


Recorded in Oxford UK on 25/07/26 at 17:58 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop as the auxiliary and end-fed wire as the main antenna.


Thanks for watching and 73.
