Hi there, great to copy my favourite station on shortwave with one of the greats from the 1970s...the iconic FRG-7700. With an excellent reputation for MW DXing, this rig also performs on HF, but it makes me happy just looking at it lol.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 18/12/25 at 10:59 hrs UTC using a Bonito/NTi MegaLoop FX antenna.

Thanks for watching and 73.
