Uploaded August 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Hi there, this is only the second time I've copied the Marine weather transmission from Chesapeak, Virginia, so nice to hear this again.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 27/06/26 at 23:25 hrs UTC using an ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna as the auxiliary and my end-fed wire via a Howes matching unit as the main antenna, into my MFJ noise cancelling unit.

Thanks for watching and 73.
