Hi there, this is the first time I've used MultiPSK but after a bit of fiddling around I managed to decode weather data from the relatively strong DDK DWD Pinneberg signal on 10100.80 kHz.

MW DX: summertime signal from Tropical del 1480, Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Hi there, this is a welcome PF for me. Depite the understandably weak signal, hindered by significant adjacent QRM, I strongly suspected this was Puerto Rico. However, it took the highly trained ears of Matthias to confirm, so thanks to him. Once again, the Elad and Wellbrook combine to deliver a brilliant result.

2. Emisoras Pio XII 5952.4 kHz, Boliva, outdoor reception in Oxford UK

Hi there, in comparison to my previous video, here is typical outdoor reception in the woods, with both the Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop and the Bonito MegActive USB-powered MA305 antenna. Both of these outdoor set-ups provide far stronger and clearer reception, for a fraction of the cost.

The video starts with this signal from Bolivia using the Wellbrook ALA1530. Fast-forward 46 seconds for the reception using using the Bonito MegActive MA305 by clicking here 0:46

Pushing the Elad FDM DUO to the limit...Rádio Evangelizar 11934.9 kHz, f...

Hi there, this is the first time I've caught Rádio Evangelizar (formerly Radio RB2) at home in the shack, on this frequency. This really is pushing the capabilities of the Elad and Wellbrook ALA1530 to the absolute limit - negotiating the local QRM whilst detecting a weak signal and delivering some audio. Quite remarkable really.

I suppose it further reinforces the argument that DXpeditions with far more modest equipment deliver much better DX results.

1. Emisoras Pio XII 5952.43 kHz, Bolivia, indoor reception in Oxford, UK

Hi there, here is a recent indoor reception of Emisoras Pio XII, recorded on 21/09/17 in Oxford at 02:21 hrs UTC. This is typical of a very good indoor signal - quite rare. Compare this with the next video which is a typical signal on a DXpedition. Bear in mind my indoor equipment cost more than 4 times as much as an outdoor set-up!

Hi there, reception of Alcaravan Radio at home under the electrosmog is a very rare occurence - on average I hear faint modulation two or three times a year. This is only my second copy this year. A weak signal at the best of times, it's quite incredible that the Elad and Wellbrook manage to deliver any recovered audio. Best listened to through headphones my friends.#

Hi there, in my humble opinion, this is a stonking signal from Radio Hargeysa. Mostly a faint mumble on my SDR at home, here they are almost booming outdoors, with the wide filter on the Sony via the excellent Bonito Boni Whip antenna. The usual adjacent QRM is present, but I couldn't resist using the wide filter for this reception. This is what I love about DXing....hearing something new...or better than ever previously!

The ID can be heard at 00:27

Hi there, I copied this station for the first time in many months, just over a week ago. A week later, I copied it again with an even stronger signal, which stuck around for nearly three minutes before eventually fading away. Interesting that there was zero North American DX on MW that night - or since. Propagation obviously favoured South America once again. Anyway, very pleasing to catch them again.

Medium wave DX: Greek pirate copied on 1660 kHz

Hi there, I intially thought I'd copied WGIT again, but then doubts started to set in as I re-listened to the recording - the style of music/speech sounded more like a pirate. A Greek station had been published on YouTube in the past couple of weeks by our friend and colleague 2010DFS and my friend Matthias subsequently confirmed my doubts lol. This is therefore a PF for me: I've never copied a Greek pirate on 1660 kHz! ;-)

MW DX: summertime signal from Radio Rebelde 710 kHz, Cuba

Hi there, it was nice to catch Radio Rebelde on one of their lower TX frequencies. I checked this reception against another simultaneous transmission on MW to confirm the ID as the signal is pretty weak. Nevertheless, another transatlantic MW catch is most welcome, particularly as it's still officially summer in the UK lol.

Hi there, it's been a long time since I recorded a signal from Sri Lanka, but this one was so strong on the Tecsun/Bonito set-up, I felt it worth uploading. Almost like a local AM and with equipment totalling less than £150. There's nothing I can say about the brilliant PL-310ET or the Boni Whip that I haven't already said previously. Both offer superb value for money.

This recording was taken before I had the time to do some research and start figuring out the best way to use this very capable little table-top reciever. However, in AM, with the 'normal filter, Fast ACG and Preamp 2, their signal sounded pretty good to me lol. On more crowded parts of the HF bands, SSB/ECSS is the right approach to get the best out of this receiver - more on that to come.

Radio Aparecida 11855 kHz Brazil, Sony ICF-2001D & Bonito Boni Whip

Hi there, I don't hear this station at home any more, probably because of the ever growing local QRM issue. Sat in my shack in the early hours I worry that some of these tropical stations have gone off-air lol. Fortunately my fears were allayed a few days ago when I copied Radio Aparecida again on a mini DXpedition. Brilliant performance from the ultra-compact Bonito Boni Whip. The Sony speaks for itself.

Reach Beyond Australia 15320 & 15340 kHz on the Icom IC-R75 and Yaesu FR...

Hi there, I was only thinking quite recently that I hadn't copied Reach Beyond Australia for some time now. Looking back at my uploads I found that the last time was actually May when I was in Crete and prior to that, March in the UK. So it was nice to copy them again in the middle of the afternoon with the IC-R75. This receiver was recommended to me by a certain Mr Thomas Brogan (who is doing ok for those of you that know him) and others.

As you probably know (and demonstrated on this video) the audio on the Icom is very shrill in comparison to the FRG-8800 for example, but that could be an advantage for hard-core DXing. What's not so good are the filters - extremely narrow and very wide. As my friend and radio colleague Phil Henzler quite rightly pointed out earlier, SSB is probably the most useful mode for DXing with the stock filters. Nevertheless, I got this radio at a very fair price - dare I even say a very good price and it's actually the first relatively modern table-top receiver I've ever owned. Very much looking forward to putting it through it's paces lol.

Hi there I took the opportunity to record VOCM again this morning in the non-remote 192 kHz mode on the Elad - so this is actual DXing rather than analysing a recording. I was fortunate enough to time this such that multiple IDs are heard - and a pretty decent signal for this time of the year. It's still officially summer in the UK until 22/09/17 and I'm hoping to catch a few more transatlantic signals before then (and lots more after lol).

Hi there, this is presumed, but given the style of music playing, the strong signal from VOCM at the same time and the fact that this is the only transatlantic station I've ever copied on 800 kHz, I'm pretty sure this is VOWR. Significant adjacent channel QRM requiring the use of LSB, but as usual, the Elad performs admirably to deliver recovered audio.

Hi there, if my memory serves me correctly, I have once previously copied Radio Hargeysa on the whip of the ICF-2001D, but in darkness. This is my first daylight reception of this station without a longwire or other more sophisticated antenna. In this reception there's adjacent channel QRM from Hams - as usual, but the music playing is still clearly heard. The old Sony is still a top performer even after all those intervening years.

Hi there, another welcome catch in the shack - it's not every day you sit there listening to a low power station from Bolivia on a portable receiver - albeit two of the best portables ever made. In my opinion, the Eton out performs the Sony here - you can fast forward to it's reception here 0:56 As always, I'd welcome your comments.

Radio Tarma Internacional 4774.9 kHz Peru, copied with Eton E1 and Sony ...

Hi there, this is sort of an indoor reception because it was recorded in my shack, but I guess it should be regarded as outdoors because the Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop antenna was in the garden shed! Certainly better signals from Radio Tarma have been copied and recorded on my DXpeditions, however, this reception at home was really pleasing. Comparing the reception of the Eton and Sony is unavoidable - and having just read the comments from Marcos and had another listen, I actually don't think the Eton beats the Sony at all - there's very little in it. I'm planning comprehensive testing out in the woods, to properly determine the performance of E1 and ICF-2001D receivers, using DX signals in a very quiet environment. Should be really interesting.
