Hi there, it was brilliant to finally hear Novosibirsk VOLMET - and even better on the surprisingly capable Tecsun S-2200X receiver. I think I must give my full purchase recommendation to this rig. It's both interesting and an excellent performer. Recorded at 16:07 hrs on 20/02/26 using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, amazing to hear this signal again - this time on the DSP2. It just never gets old listening to a regional utility station from literally the other side of the world. As for the DSP2 - it's brilliant. End of. Recorded in Oxford UK on 29/04/26 at 22:30 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, outdoors, via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, a better signal from Sydney - amazing how quickly HF propagation conditions can change. As usual, the Eton E1 performs very well indeed with the Wellbrook loop. Recorded in Oxford UK on 15/04/26 at 00:57 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors). Thanks for watching and 73.

BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast 198 kHz longwave copied with excellent audio on the Malahit DSP2

Hi there, for a small portable, this radio has excellent audio - in part because of the speaker hardware but also because you have a myriad of audio bandwidth options. Just a fantastic portable radio - I highly recommend.

Thanks for watching and 73.

A tune through the shortwave bands using a wire antenna in a noisy office - using the Tecsun S2200x

Hi there, I wasn't expecting to hear anything at all in this environment, but it just goes to show that there are still a few powerful broadcasters left on shortwave that can push through a very high noise-floor! Thanks for watching and 73.

St. Petersburgh VOLMET 6617 kHz copied with the Tecsun S-2200X receiver and Wellbrook ALA1530

Hi there, the modulated audio coming out of St Petersburgh isn't great, but good enough and not a function of the S-2200X demodulation capabilities. I'm becoming increasingliy impressed with this rig. Recorded in Oxford UK on 05/02/26 at 01:34 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.
