Late Night DXing/SWLing

Kaito KA1103Kaito KA1103 at nightLast night’s backyard camping excursion with Augie gave me an opportunity to do some shortwave and long distance listening on my Kaito KA1103 hooked to a Sangean ANT-60 antenna. I live tweeted what I found:

Augie and I are safe in our tent for the night. You can watch the temp/wind here: http://t.co/dcVuQa1pVP pic.twitter.com/8fecwWlyWF

I’m going 2 live blog my shortwave listening here in the tent…first 2 stations I tuned in are Radio Habana and WTWW… pic.twitter.com/aLWnHJzpvY

WTWW (5085 kHz) has Coast to Coast with Art Bell and tonight he has an “I’m married to an alien” line. How can I change that?!

Well, time to hit the hay. Hope you enjoyed the shortwave survey from a tent in a backyard in Strasburg, CO. Blessings all!

I’ve been listening to shortwave tonight @thespia and just switched to AM. What do you know…WBAP 820 Fort Worth! http://t.co/PwpM8R4bHB

— Alan (@AlanCult) October 3, 2015

720 AM WGN Chicago: http://t.co/CedO7VEHhR Of course, I could listen to any AM station over the Internet, but… pic.twitter.com/rOQzOvYJBW

— Alan (@AlanCult) October 3, 2015

And, waking up too early this morning…shortwave didn’t offer anything…but I spent a little time checking out AM again:

A little early morning DXing on AM… KOKC, 1520 kHz, Oklahoma City: http://t.co/BS8MdOZkbo Good morning world from Strasburg, CO!

— Alan (@AlanCult) October 3, 2015

Mornin’ AM 1140 (Southern Alberta’s Community Radio Station)…I have picked you up here in Strasburg, CO! http://t.co/FR1X5mhZ9U @AM_1140

— Alan (@AlanCult) October 3, 2015

BTW, if you are wondering why I am up so early…do you know how loud sprinklers are against a tent?! #stilldry pic.twitter.com/ct0FIRHoFS

— Alan (@AlanCult) October 3, 2015

@DarrellStrahan Multiple stations bleeding together. 🙁 The clearest appears to be News 1130, Vancouver: http://t.co/kYsMTqYCrE @news1130

— Alan (@AlanCult) October 3, 2015

Good morning world! #upbeforethesun #notonpurpose #augieisinside pic.twitter.com/6O3Nm03goc

Well, that’s it for now. Time to head to The Patio Cafe for breakfast with Augie!

P.S. Wait, there was also this “video” of the second time a train went through Strasburg last night…
