Hi there, here's the same signal from Nashville, this time on the Tecsun S-8800 receiver. Interesting to compare with the 909x. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi there, I've only recorded this signal four times in the past 3 years. Not because I generally can't hear them, quite the opposite, generally I can, if I'm up that late! This time around I thought it interesting to record them from my living room, with a portable, coupled to the ALA1530....exiting the house via a window jumper. A strong signal punching above quite a lot of noise.

Hi there, this is where it all started with PLL/direct frequency access/scanning portable shortwave radios. Back in 1980 it was revolutionary. Even John Lennon had one to keep in touch with BBC news etc. from New York. I remember seeing one in a shop window in Oxford when I was just a little kid. I was with my Dad and didn't even bother asking him if I could have one....it was the equivalent of about £825 in todays money! On the downside, selectivity is very average to poor and it eats batteries very quickly indeed. However, when one came up on eBay for 50 quid, I could say no - even just for the nostalga of finally owning one. Anyway, here's an ok signal from North Korea in my back garden with about 8 metres of wire attached.

Hi there, decent audio from Myanmar Radio is by no means a given from my very noisy shack, so it was nice to copy them with even a signal from my living room, via the Wellbrook magnetic loop and the very decent performing S-8800 receiver. Just a shame about the rather extortionate price!

Hi there, I pulled out the ICF-2001D the other night and plugged the Wellbrook into it. Interesting way to DX from the living room lol. I've not used this radio for a long time and thinking back, it was, for a long time, the mainstay of my DXing/DXpeditions. Here's some pretty good recovered audio from Radio Verdad in Guatemala.
