Hi there, a strong signal from Brazil, but another station in the background can also be heard. I think so far, I would describe the shortwave performance of this rig as adequate. More testing to come and I might change my mind. I want it to be brilliant, but at this stage I'm not sure it will be.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 31/01/26 at 01:02 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors).

Thanks for watching and 73.
