About a week ago, back on 28th August 2023, I worked Harper MI5AFK in Northern Ireland. What a super signal!

I regularly speak to Dave G4AKC, Steve G4NVF, and others in the United Kingdom who operate bicycle mobile, pedestrian mobile, or backpack mobile.

Below is a short video of my contact with Dave and Steve on 20m about a week ago. Super signals!

A few days ago on 28th August 2023, I managed to work a new DXCC entity. It was Eric EL2EF operating from Liberia on the west coast of Africa.

Eric was not at all strong. I was beaming on the ‘long path’. I didn’t think that Eric would hear me, but he did, and we made contact.

Below is a short video showing my reception of Eric EL2EF on the ‘long path’ into Liberia, AFrica.

At about 1025 UTC on the 3rd day of September 2023, I tuned in to China National Radio CNR8, broadcasting in the Korean language on 5975 kHz.

The broadcast was coming from the 100kW Beijing transmitter site.

The overall reception of CNR8 was fair.

At about 0938 UTC on the 20th day of August 2023, I tuned in to Radio Voz Missionaria, BRAZIL, broadcasting in the Portuguese language on 5939 kHz.

The broadcast was coming from the 10kW Camboriu transmitter in Brazil.

The overall reception of Radio Voz Missionaria was poor. This was due to severe interference from WWCR broadcasting on 5935 kHz in the English language.

I also tried listening on their two other frequencies: 11750 kHz and 9665 kHz. Their 11750 kHz broadcast was totally unreadable due to Asian broadcast stations. Their 9665 kHz broadcast was readable, but only just. There was also a lot of Asian language interference there also.

Below is a short video showing my reception of Radio Voz Missionaria.
