Hi there, the strength and clarity of this MW signal from New York has to been heard to be believed. Must be right up there with one of my best-ever recordings of this station.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 28/10/25 at 00:38 hrs UTC using an Icom IC-8600 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna via a Bonito?NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator.

Thanks for watching and 73.
