Hi there, very nice longwave AM audio with the NRD535 - much nicer than the sometimes slightly muddy sound from the 525. That isn't to say the 525 isn't a great receiver - it really is one of the best ever. As for Radio 4 on longwave...what a shame it's nearly all over (and now it is).

Recorded on 05/06/26 at 00:48 hrs BST.

Thanks for watching and 73.
