I don’t know how many more Fridays there will be before it is too cold, but Augie and I spent the night in the tent again (and I am not sure who looks forward to or enjoys it more :-)). Although it doesn’t fix it 100%, being away from all the electromagnetic interference in the house means both AM & shortwave listening are better, so I live tweeted what I found again (as I did last week). Reception last night was amazing. I think the best since I started the hobby back up a couple months ago.
Before I put the stream of tweets below, I wanted to share the most exciting part of the evening, tuning in Radio New Zealand International (transmitting from New Zealand). The clip plays a few selections…and at the end has proof it is Radio New Zealand (they do a station id). This morning they had replied back on Twitter (also below) and I actually picked them up again! (Albeit, on another frequency.)
I didn’t get enough sleep last night, but I am still jazzed from all the neat, and often very distant, stations I picked up! Here is what I heard:

And then I actually did go to sleep. This morning, however…
@AlanCult that's awesome! 😀👍

I do hope you all are having a great Saturday…or whatever day it is when you read this. 🙂
P.S. Last night’s reception was thanks to a Tecsun PL-880 shortwave radio, a Sangean ANT-60 shortwave antenna, and great atmospheric conditions. 🙂
P.P.S. And getting Yemen was pretty cool too!
