MWDX: WEGP Presque Isle 1390 kHz, Maine, HUGE signal copied in Oxford UK!

Hi there, the signal from Presque Isle is certainly one of the less difficult TA catches on MW. However, I've never copied them like this before - and note the audio bandwidth filter: 7.6 kHz. Quite exceptional. I always pay tribute to the equipment, which is superb, but this must have also been down to exceptional conditions of propagation.

MW DX: WLAM Lewiston 1470 kHz, Maine, copied in Oxford UK, stongest sign...

Hi there, this is my strongest/ clearest reception of WLAM and the second time I've caught them in 2018. Never one of the often heard TA stations, so always nice to copy them with audio.

WTNI 'The Champ' 1640 kHz, Biloxi Gulfport, Mississippi copied in Oxford...

Hi there, this is the second time I've copied WTNI in 2018 and nice to hear them with such a (relatively) strong signal and ID. Still amazes me what's possible with MW DX. Just look at the superb catches recently from David (tvdxrools) and Matthias (senderjaeger).

Radio Pilipinas 9925 kHz Tinang, first reception on this frequency since...

Hi there, it's been two years since I last copied Radio Pilipinas on this frequency - and that was with the ELAD FDM DUO. Prior to that I'd heard them on my venerable Sony ICF-SW55 and a 95 metre longwire. Nice to copy them again, albeit with quite a weak signal.

MW DX: KKGM Hope 1630 Khz Dallas - Fort Worth copied in Oxford UK with a...

Hi there, I was surprised by the strength of this signal from Texas, which literally popped out of the noise floor at 5 am. This is a PF for me, so I'm very happy to have copied their signal.

Antena Satelor 153 kHz on LW induction loop: Sony ICF-SW55 and Tecsun PL...

Hi there, here's a bit of fun - comparing the modern PL-310ET with and without the LW induction loop on 153 kHz Antenna Satelor, against the ancient, but high quality Sony ICF-SW55. As might be expected, the Sony was more sensitive on LW than it's modern DSP counterpart - the signal from Brasov could be copied without the loop. The Tecsun couldn't deliver any audio without the loop, but it was perfectly acceptable with. Just goes to show that if you want decent reception on LW, buy an old non-DSP radio or build a loop - which is more fun I think. Thanks for watching.

The Elad FDM DUO is epic at separating close signals: WWKB Buffalo New Y...

Hi there, here's a big signal from WWKB closely coupled to an even bigger signal on the adjacent channel, just 1 kHz displaced. Despite this challenging condition, the Elad on LSB pulls out remarkably clear recovered audio. Brilliant stuff.
