Hi there, I'm currently in Genoa on a business trip and of course I took the brilliant Eton Satellit with me. Now, I know from experience that DXing on MW or SW from a noisy hotel room is usually near impossible. However, in the very early hours of yesterday morning, I managed to catch BBC Radio 5 Live on 693 kHz with an excellent signal. Recorded in Genoa, Italy on 01/02/17 at 23:14 hrs UTC using the internal ferrite rod antenna. Thanks for watching.

Hi there, this is a PF for me and so a very welcome catch. I actually recorded this in December, but I've such a backlog of reception videos, they're coming through with about a month behind. Recorded in Oxford UK on 09/12/16t at 03:59 hrs UTC using an Elad FDM DUO and Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop antenna (indoors). Thanks for watching.

Hi there, WFED can be very difficult to hear well, particularly compared to some of the other East Coast US stations. I was therefore pleased to catch this signal with pretty clear audio, despite the severe adjacent channel QRM. Recorded in Oxford UK on 07/12/16 at 06:59 hrs UTC using an Elad FDM DUO and Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop antenna (indoors). Thanks for watching.
Goodbye to ABC on SW - my last available recording captured them on 2325...
Hi there, this is my last available recording for uploading to YouTube and of course it feels quite poignant now that they're gone from shortwave. I captured their signals with the Eton Satellit on both frequencies in the 120 metre band and on 60 metres. A very nice performance from the Eton once again and although reception on 2325 kHz was a little stronger later into the session, I'm very happy to have recorded these signals together. I hope Senator Nick Xenophon's new legislation he has planned can get them back on air. Recorded at the woods in Oxford UK on 22/01/17 at 17:55 hrs UTC using a 50 metre longwire. Thanks for watching.
Eton Satellit: Voice of Korea (KCBS) 7570 kHz, North Korea, best signal ...
Hi there, a nice signal from the DPRK with the Eton Satellit. This is my first reception of them on this frequency for nearly 15 months and my best reception on this frequency to-date, so a pleasing catch. Once again the Satellit demonstrates that it's far from a 'duffer'...it's actually a very good receiver, with excellent sensitivity that I'm sure will challenge the best portables in my collection. more on that to come. Recorded at the woods in Oxford UK on 22/01/17 at 17:40 hrs UTC using a 50 metre longwire. Thanks for watching.
