Hi there, great to copy HSW Bangkok Meteorological Radio on 8743 KHz using the diminutive DSP2. My goodness, what a fantastic little receiver it is - if you can live with the almost limitless signal conditioning options! A high quality problem to have!

Recorded on 29/04/26 at 22:30 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, outdoors, via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
