What's left on medium wave? VOCM 590 kHz Newfoundland & Labrador, copied with the Tecsun S2200X

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxN6Cqqkoig

Hi there, here's a nice DX copy from VOCM using the rather good S2200X coupled to one of my Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loops. After a stuttering start, I've been impressed with this radio on medium wave and longwave. Not properly tested on shortwave yet, but the signs are very promising. Recorded in Oxford UK on 13/01/25 at 01:16 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, this is our friend Jon, closing VORW Radio International this morning as copied from Oxford, UK with my ALA1530 magnetic loop. My goodness that chap plays some good music - I particularly enjoyed The Who this morning. Anyway, respect to Jon for sticking with shortwave - we should all be grateful! Thanks and 73

Medium wave DX: Kuwait (VOA) copied on 1548 kHz using the Icom IC-R8600 and Wellbrook ALA1530 loop

Hi there, great to copy a signal from Kuwait on medium wave. This is the Voice of America relay of course, but that's all good as far as I'm concerned. A catch is a catch! Recorded in Oxford UK on 02/04/26 at 00:13 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, it's been a while since I recorded a HARS net...here I am calling into the net on top band and listening as the net progresses down the list of operators. Thanks for watching and 73.

Woken up at 02:37 hrs by a voice on 4925 kHz - spooky-sounding E06 'The English Man' numbers station

Hi there, I fell asleep DXing and just happened to have the Icom IC-R71E tuned to 4925 kHz. E06 woke me up in the middle of the night. I was half asleep and didn't even think to change the demodulation mode. Anyway, still clear in AM. Recorded on 26/03/26 in Oxford UK using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter. Thanks for watching and 73.

What's left on medium wave in the UK? BBC Asian Network 828 kHz only 200 Watts TX power!

 

Hi there, I love asian music and this station plays a lot of it of course - definitely worth a listen. Only transmitting with 200 Watts of power, but a lovely copy in Oxford.

Testing the Tecsun S2200X on single sideband shortwave signals: CHU Canada on 7850 and 3330 KHz

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6NmJ26UQG8

So it appears that the frequency accuracy of the Tecsun S2200X is actually very good. So close, that it is impossible to check on AM. However, on sideband it reads 120 Hz up. Pretty good IMO.
