DXing from Treasure Island, Florida: WSB News 750 kHz, Atlanta, Georgia,...

Hi there, this signal from Atlanta GA was a welcome find on the crowded MW band over here. Congestion on the band, with competing North American signals on most of the 10 kHz channels made DXing difficult to say the least and I now know first-hand how real long distance catches in North America can be very difficult indeed, without a directional antenna.

Hi there, nice to catch an out-of-state signal with the SDRPlay RSP1A and the Bonito MegActive antenna from my apartment in Treasure Island. I only wish I'd had more time for DXing on this trip. There's a clear ID at the start and end of the recording.

Hi there, the 90m broadcast band time signal from CHU Canada, Ottawa was copied loud and clear with the XHDATA D-808 on the beach, just using the whip. A great little radio to take on a trip!

DXing in Florida with XHDATA D-808 on the whip: Radio Aparecida 6135 kHz...

Hi there, this is a station I've copied many times from the UK and Brazil. Quite difficult to hear most of the time because of the relatively weak signal and adjacent channel QRM from Radio Santa Cruz Bolivia. Amazing to copy them from the beach with just the telescopic antenna.

DXing in Florida with XHDATA D-808 on the whip: Alcaravan Radio 5910 kHz...

Hi there, I sat on the beach from midnight until 1 am local time a couple of days ago and caught this rather exotic station, last heard in the UK on October 2017 (although copied in November from Rio Capim). Great to hear them again and a very nice catch just on the whip antenna of this totally brilliant little radio.

Hi there, I haven't copied this station since last October, but there was a weak signal present on my RSP1A spectrum, here in Treasure Island, Florida.

Hi there, this is presumed, although I think I can hear an ID - but I'm not 100% sure about it. If anyone out there can confirm, that would be great. It's been over a year since I last copied this station, so I'll be pleased if this is correct/
