New York Radio 5520 kHz ATC: Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico & Florida Waters, copied with the Eton E1 @OxfordShortwaveLog

Uploaded May 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

Hi there, great to hear New York Radio again, this time on the world's greatest ever shortwave portable (just) the Eton E1. Only the Sony ICF-2001D comes (very) close. But the PBT just edges it for me, for the E1.

Recorded on 19/03/26 at 00:43 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
