Hi there, here's a tune though the shortwave bands mid afternoon in Oxford UK, using the Wellbrook magnetic loop and the S2200x. A great radio for broadcast band listening and DXing. Thanks for watching and 73.

Hi there, this is only the second time I've copied the Marine weather transmission from Chesapeak, Virginia, so nice to hear this again. Recorded in Oxford UK on 27/06/26 at 23:25 hrs UTC using an ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna as the auxiliary and my end-fed wire via a Howes matching unit as the main antenna, into my MFJ noise cancelling unit. Thanks for watching and 73.
