Hi there, it was brilliant to finally hear Novosibirsk VOLMET - and even better on the surprisingly capable Tecsun S-2200X receiver. I think I must give my full purchase recommendation to this rig. It's both interesting and an excellent performer.

Recorded at 16:07 hrs on 20/02/26 using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
