Hi there, up to my usual tricks, getting out into the garden as soon as the sun comes out! Nothing better than some autumn sunshine to make you feel like summer weather might not be completely over for another year! Here the S-2200x demonstrates how there is still a lot to listen to on shortwave!

Thanks for watching and 73.

MLite-880: testing sensitivity, audio bandwidth & noise reduction on a signal from North Korea DPRK

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9bT3sSj040

Hi there, this Voice of Korea French Service signal was copied in Oxford UK, on 10/09/26 at 14:07 hrs UTC, using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop. The noise reduction and audio bandwidth options work very well indeed.

So far, so good with this clever little radio.

Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, I'm still obsessed with autumn sunshine - it means I don't have to say goodbye to summer vibes just yet! Nothing better than sat in the garden, rattling on about radio! Thanks for watching and 73.

Wow! Audio on the MLite-880 from one of the hardest DX targets: Radio Mosoj Chaski, Bolivia 3310 kHz

Hi there, this was an amazing catch on the MLite-880 - recovered audio from Radio Mosoj Chaski using a long-wire antenna. This clearly demonstrates the sensitivity of this brilliant little radio that thus far, I had not observed. Try to ignore the adjacent QRM! Recorded in Oxford UK on 24/09/2026 at 00:46 hrs UTC. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, just short narrative on my thoughts re the S-2200x, the MLite-880 and cheap passive magnetic loop antenna I recently purchased. I'm still obsessed with autumn weather and yesterday afternoon in Oxford was quite hot! Thanks for watching and 73.
