Hi there, what a nice signal from the other side of the world this morning, copied at 09:59 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator. Hearing this station from such a distance never gets old!

Thanks for watching and 73.
