Hi there, having copied this station on the Malahit DSP2, I decided to have a go with the FRG8800 - and here it is. What a great rig and still going strong after all these years. Recorded in Oxford UK on 30/04/25 at 23:03 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

The awesome sounding Hacker Super Sovereign: perfect way to listen to the Shipping Forecast 198 kHz

It doesn't get much better than this, although my good friend tells me there is another Hacker model (the Herald I think) with a slightly larger speaker than the Super Sovereign. My goodness that radio must sound good, because the audio from this one is epic. Thanks for watching and 73

Voice of Korea (DPRK) English Service starting on 15245.2 kHz copied with the NRD535 receiver

Hi there, a nice signal from North Korea on the 19m band copied with the NRD535. I'm not sure how different the 525 and 535 are, but the 525 wins on dynamic range, whist the 535 has better filters and front end. Either way, a very similar experience! Recorded in Oxford UK on 05/06/26 at 12:59 hrs UTC using a Bonito MegaLoop FX antenna via a GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.

Recorded on 30/05/26 at 22:58 hrs UTC using a Yaesu FRG-100 and a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator.
