Hi there, some QSB on this signal from Ukraine, but when faded in, they boom into Southern England.

Recorded in Oxford UK on 04/11/25 at 00:58 hrs UTC using an Icom IC-R8600 and Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna (outdoors) via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter and GI1000 galvanic isolator.

Thanks for watching and 73.
