Hi there, here's a video of beautiful North Wales with the sounds of BBC Radio Wales in the background. I passed through this area in the late 1980s as a young engineer on my way to Galway, via Holyhead. It was great to finally see the place again after nearly 30 years.

Thanks for watching.

DXing with a G5RV antenna: Voice of Indonesia 3325 kHz copied in Oxford UK

Hi there, very pleased to copy the Voice of Indonesia's 10 kW relay from Palangkaraya in Oxford using the G5RV antenna and the brilliant Eton Satellit...a radio that doesn't get as much press as it used to, since the XHDATA D-808 came along!

Hi there, always nice to copy Zanzibar who were off air for a while at the end of last year I think. Here's a decent signal for a hotel room-type environment. Certainly not optimal for DXing, but up on HF the Bonito NTi MegaLoop FX antenna works superbly well, supported by an almost perfectly sized vertically-opening window.

Hi there, this VOLMET transmission is new to me and TBH it took quite a lot of searching online to find any mention of it. A fairly weak signal from my hote room, but nevertheless, an interesting find whilst I was in Ireland.

Recorded on 22/08/18 at 01:01 hrs UTC using an SDRPlay RSPduo and Bonito NTi MegaLoop FX antenna (indoors). Thanks for watching.

Hi there, here's the same signal from Lou in Barcelona, copied from my Dublin hotel room on the brilliant XHDATA D-808 portable radio, just using the telescopic antenna, indoors! That guy is booming all over Europe lol....and probably the world!

Summertime signal from WBBR Bloomberg Radio 1130 kHz New York, into Oxfo...

Hi there a strong signal from New York given the time of year - and again the first time I've copied them since March, using the induction loop I constructed. The bonito NTi MegaLoop FX antenna with the 10 m cable seems to be working very well indeed, pulling transatlantic MW DX out of the ether lol and out of season!
