Testing the Tecsun S2200X on single sideband shortwave: Trenton military VOLMET 6754 kHz USB, Canda @OxfordShortwaveLog

Uploaded April 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This is the first time I've copied Trenton VOLMET on this frequency since my trip to the USA in the summer of 2024. Copied them well in Pittsburgh and Houston...back on the other side of the 'pond' it's a bit more of the challenge. The S2200X held up well.

Recorded on 18/03/26 at 02:25 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
