More bad news for longwave: Medi 1 from Nador, Morocco, on 171 kHz closed permanently

Hi there, very sad to report we will never hear Morocco on 171 kHz again. They have been absent from the longwave band for a few weeks ago and the inevitable has now been confirmed. That just leaves Romania, Poland and Algeria in or near Europe and Mongolia which is almost impossible to catch from my QTH. Thanks for watching and 73.

September 30th sunshine, MLite-880 v1.59 firmware and a 15 quid preamp for my passive magnetic loop

Hi there, I'm still enjoying the late September sunshine and warmth - it was about 23 degrees today but the sun felt hot! I can still pretend it's summer lol. A bit more on the MLite-880 with an update to the firmware and a cheap amplifier for my passive loop that only cost 15 quid, so it sort of doesn't matter if it doesn't work very well! Thanks for watching and 73.

MLite-880: intial testing on sideband with a tune up and down the 40m amateur radio band

Hi there, managed to copy a few signals around 7 MHz...the frequency display is actually very accurate, only a few Hz out - and I believe it can be adjusted. Overall, this radio has been a good experience thus far. Recorded around 14:20 hrs UTC in Oxford UK using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors). Thanks for watching and 73.

Radio Tarma 4775 kHz, Peru copied with some good audio on the JRC NRD535 and my end-fed wire antenna

Hi there, more audio from Radio Tarma, which remains a very difficult catch from Europe. Here the wire antenna was out-performing the Wellbrook loop. Recorded in Oxford UK on 13/06/26 at 00:14 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Radio Mosoj Chaski 3310 kHz, Bolivia copied on the JRC NRD535 and my amateur radio end-fed wire

Hi there, great to copy audio again from Bolivia on my end-fed wire I use for my amateur radio activities. I think this set-up was actually working slightly better than my Wellbrook loop that evening. The signal picks up as the recording progresses. Recorded in Oxford UK on 13/06/26 at 00:07 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, it's been a long time since I copied a Voice of Korea KCBS transmission...and I didn't expect it to be on the 19m band at midnight. Recorded in Oxford on 03/06/26 using a Yaesu FRG-8800 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop via an NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Thanks for watching and 73.
