Sony ICF-SW100: Radio Hargeysa 7120 kHz, Somaliland, great reception fro...

Hi there, another nice example of the little Sony's excellent DX capabilities. Here the reception is as good as previous recordings with the ICF-2001D, amongst others. Quite amazing to copy one of the more exotic stations on shortwave with a receiver that fits into your shirt pocket! Recorded in Oxford UK on 27/01/17 at around 17:30 hrs UTC using a 50 metre longwire antenna. Thanks for watching.

The Eton Satellit: Voice of Africa 9505 kHz, Sudan, best signal to-date

Hi there, the clearest signal to date from the Voice of Africa, Sudan, with the brilliant Eton Satellit. Once again, it's previous reputation as an unworthy successor to the Satellit line appears to be unjustified. Recorded in Oxford UK on Recorded at the woods in Oxford UK on 22/01/17 at 18:17 hrs UTC, using a 50 metre longwire. Thanks for watching.

Hi there, I had to share this second reception video of Radio Guinée because the signal was so brilliant on the Eton and the music superb. Recorded at the woods in Oxford UK on 22/01/17 at 18:40 hrs UTC, using a 50 metre longwire. I'm going out shortly with the Eton and the Sony ICF-2001D to make some comparison videos - with a longwire. More of that to come. Thanks for watching!

Sony ICF-SW100 miniature DX marvel: KCBS Pyongyang 6100 kHz, North Korea

Hi there, they don't grow on trees - to borrow a pun - but they do pack a punch for their diminutive size. North Korea on a difficult frequency with a radio no larger than a pack of 20 cigarettes?? That'll be the brilliant Sony ICF-SW100. Sharing the airwaves on this frequency with Radio Afghanistan, here's another recording from the same session when the North Korean's transmission was dominant on 6100 kHz. Recorded in Oxford UK on 27/01/17 at around 17:15 hrs UTC using a 50 metre longwire. Thanks to the tree for the perch lol and thanks to you for watching.

Polski Radio 1, 225 kHz heard in Genoa, Italy with Eton Satellit, using ...

Hi there, our friend and fellow Tudor demonstrated recently that the
Eton requires an external antenna to achieve good sensitivity on LW. It
was therefore nice to hear even a weak signal from Polskie Radio whilst
in Genoa, Italy using just the internal ferrite antenna. Recorded on
01/02/17 at 23:19 hrs UTC using the internal ferrite rod antenna. Thanks for watching.

Hi there, I can't remember the last time I heard Chaîne 3, so this was a pleasing catch whilst I was in Italy and on the internal ferrite rod antenna.  Recorded in Genoa, Italy on 01/02/17 at 23:38 hrs UTC using the internal ferrite rod antenna. Thanks for watching.
