Last 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:

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?!

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!

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

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

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…
