DX season is in full swing!  I snagged five new NDB loggings!  Most were lower power and/or under 500 miles away with the exception of GW out of Kuujjuarapik – located at the southern shore of the great Hudson Bay!

GW has beaten out YFM 332 as the northernmost MW/LW transmission from North America that I’ve ever logged!

The atmospheric conditions last night/this morning were very very favorable.  DXing was remarkable to the north and northwest.  I received a slew of new NDB loggings – including quite a few lower power NDB’s from north of the border.  I also logged my third US state on the NDB arena – New York.

This was the first decent night of DX since I acquired a Sony ICF-SW7600SR.  I do take issue with the radio for a couple of reasons – FM is trash and I do receive images of MW on the LW band.  However using USB on LW above 250 kHz is very very good.  The antenna does out perform the one in the Tecsun PL-660.

New longwave beacon logging!!  Sandwiched between ML 392 from La Malbaie Quebec and DDP booming in from Puerto Rico on 389 was little old 3B from just north of Brockville Ontario.  This is a new logging and it is also my first new beacon logging of 2014!  Just when I think I cant possibly DX another previously unheard beacon, one shows up!

deutschlandradiokultur

I logged a new transatlantic LW broadcast – Deutschlandradio Kultur on 177kHz.  The signal was constant and both music and talk were very listenable on my Sangean ATS-505.  The transmitter location is in Zehlendorf in Brandenburg.  That puts the distance at approximately 3780mi/6080km.

Happy Independence Day!

Just wanted to check in here since it has been some time since I last posted.  Not much going in with me in terms of DX.  I did grab another regional experimental longwave WE2XEB/2 on 184 kHz back on June 9th.  Other than that there is nothing else to report.  Have a great holiday weekend!

Radio Monte Carlo

 

Transatlantic conditions for longwave broadcast stations from Europe were very favorable this evening.  Not only was BBC 4 unusually clear and listenable but so was Radio Monte Carlo 216kHz which was a new logging for me!
