On Thursday 21st October 2021 I did some more broadcast short wave listening. The first station in my log was WRMI, Radio Miami International, broadcasting on 7570 kHz.

I tuned in at 1159 UTC.

I had previously tuned in to WRMI on 11th October on 5010 kHz, so this was a new frequency for me for WRMI.

To read about WRMI’s technical facilities, please have a look at their webpage at……

The WRMI property is located in an agricultural part of rural Okeechobee County in Florida, about 2 & 1/2 hours north of Miami.

The overall reception of WRMI was good. At times the Over The Horizon Radar (OTHR) came on the frequency and almost wiped out their signal.

Below is a short video of my reception of WRMI. It shows the OTHR.

My last station logged on Wednesday 20th October 2021 was the Korean Central Broadcasting Station on 3250 kHz, broadcasting from Pyongyang in NORTH KOREA. They were broadcasting in the Korean language.

GNU stands for ‘Grand National Unity’.

It was not a good night for listening on the ‘tropical’ bands as the static crashes were terrible.

The overall reception was fair. This was mostly due to the loud static crashes.

First in the log on Wednesday night (20th October 2021) was Echo of Hope on 6355 kHz in the 49m shortwave band. This station is in South Korea with a target audience in North Korea.

I had previously tuned into Echo of Hope on 17th October 2021 on 4890 kHz. This was a new frequency for me logging the station.

On this occasion, the station was playing a selection of Pop music including The Carpenters, ABBA, and Madonna.

The overall reception was fair. Of particular note was the interference which is allegedly from North Korea. There was also Morse Code on the frequency from time to time. The signal strength was fair and the fading was slight.

Below is a short video of my reception of the station.
