Transatlantic MW targets
Steve wrote: I'm no seasoned MW DXer by any means, but I've been having a lot of fun lately with my Quantum QX loop. And I'm curious: are there any transatlantic MW targets that I could reasonably expect to hear using the loop alone, without attaching a longwire to it? I'm on the East Coast. I haven't made any transatlantic "catches" yet, but there's always been unusually bad atmospheric noise when I've tried. Steve Just as a follow up, at midnight last night I heard LBC in London on 1152 and listened to it for around half an hour. There were periodic deep fades that wiped out the signal all together, but for most of that time I was making easy copy, easily understanding the discussion. Mind you, I'm sure this station broadcasts with a lot of power, but still it was a kick to listen to a British AM station. I also heard Radio Reloj again on 790. This time around I was using the Quantum Loop with an SW77. Steve |

If you are in the northeast try for England on 1215 kHz, Croatia on 1134 kHz, Monaco on 1467 kHz, Saudi Arabia on 1521 kHz, the Vatican on 1611 kHz. Too bad Norway on 1314 kHz is no longer broadcasting. JB |
