That's great! Thanks for watching and commenting. Any band you would like to see in the future?

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp I’m not picky but maybe a evening bandscan would be interesting to see what you find at night for your location

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You're very welcome.

Shortwave listening never ceases to amaze me. I am glad the scans are helpful, that is why I make them. Have a great day, 73!

Yes that is my experience as well. I would like to listen more in the mornings, but work starts early. I prefer to listen at night since Europe comes in nicely and I like a lot of the stations from Europe. I do miss the European stations of the 80s and 90s though. I will probably be out in the park this Saturday to see what I can hear!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vpI wish I would be able to get up a lot earlier for a few days just to see what I actually hear. Not too much an early morning person.

I wasn't in my younger years, but as I get older, I been getting up earlier.

I don't really. SDRConnecr is not fully developed yet, so I am expecting to see more features. UNO has a lot of features I like, but I the reception of signals is about the same. I started with UNO also.

That's another I love about SWL, cultural music!

I like it too, fits well in my pocket. It works well, but does have a slight warbel when in SSB and pushing the keys to enter a new frequency. When you are done entering the frequency it's fine. Thanks for watching and commenting.

It sure is. Strange that I can't identify it yet, still looking.

It was larger than that; maybe 40 to 50, looks like it on the video.. I've not heard of Artimis. I will research and download if needed, thank you!

Ok I've downloaded Artimas, but still cannot locate a signal that looks and sounds like that.

Sure did sound like it.

Awesome! Congratulations!

I was thinking that too.

Yep I had a 390 back in 90s. I had to put it on lay-away at a local Radio Shack. It was my first short wave radio, I used it everyday. It was an excellent radio. I remember using it with just the telescopic listening to USCG SAR missions on 5696 and 8080 kHz, receiving the Israeli MOSSAD number station, and more. I was hooked on SWL at that point. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you.

They seem to have a lot of times when the transmitters being down rather than up. I would like to see that fixed, but I'm sure those transmitters and maintenance are not cheap. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting.

I will try that one too. I have heard it before and thought maybe it was WLO out of Mobile AL, but once I was able to hear the SW ident at the end, I did some research and found it to me KRN Radio. Based on what I saw that it was in Long Island I searched SDRs in the NE until I could hear it better to validate my findings. Thank you for watching and commenting!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp I get new frequencies from your videos that you hear but I may not receive in NM. I could barely hear KRN but was worth recording even if could barely hear it. Keep up with the videos, good stuff.

Thank you for watching, and thank you for the comment. I was very surprised to actually hear It here in Florida. One of the whole points of making these videos is so people will be able to try to hear different things on shortwave radio. I'd be interested in trying some frequencies that you would hear in New Mexico

Yeah the CODAR signals cool to watch. And yes I am a father, 18 yoa son and 15 yoa daughter, so thank you. And if you are too. Happy Father's Day!

It does but it didn't have any announcements. Haven't heard it since.

Yes, today's technology definitely has better sounding equipment than years ago. Thanks for watching. Thanks for commenting. Have a great day.

Good day! I hear them a lot in the mornings. The one from Cuba of course is best here since it is only 90 miles South of Florida.

Sí

I am very happy with it. I think it was a good purchase.

On a telescopic antenna? Or an external antenna?

Of course! I use SDR Console v3.3 (which is what is in the video) - I also use SDRUno, and SDRConnect preview 2(new software in beta). This programs are used with my SDRPlay RSP1A SDR. I use different websites for finding frequencies or validating what I am hearing. I have a couple of videos that may help: th-cam.com/video/I4IkfEVwres/w-d-xo.html - showing the website eibispce.de and its use th-cam.com/video/Z2FNRxh1jCU/w-d-xo.html - showing different websites I use Thank you for watching and commenting. I would like to know if these are helpful and if I can help you, please let me know! Thanks!

As for a listening report, the easiest way is to look up the website of the station. They normally will post an email or postal address where you can send a reception report.

@SWLSignals23-hp6vp thank you very much, I watched both videos, and that was very useful 👍. Thank you ever so much.

@@tourdumondiste1 you're very welcome.

Yes. I am always excited to RZI or any station from the other side of the world, what other hobby is this exciting!

Unable to catch any station ID. Weak.

Thank you for the comments. I will continue to monitor this. I think you may be onto something. Maybe they switched to this freq from the other.

Thank you. SDRs are a great tool to use in the SWL toolbox. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I was thinking perhaps somewhere along the gulf coast. I've have heard the rebirth of WLO in mobile AL. But it has a more robotic voice and is on a different frequency. I know I heard a "W" on the CW identifier at the end of the transmission, but I had already stopped my video before it, of course, darn!

You're welcome

What is XJ9-CS14?

You're most welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Yes I did too. Thanks for watching and for the comments, lots of good info there.

Radio Shack had the DX398 which I've heard is the 909, but branded by Radio Shack. When considering buying older radios, I always look at all the pictures by the seller. Often they would show the display so you at least see it. You wouldn't know if it would go out or not of course. When I bought my mine I asked the seller these questions: does it turn on, does the audio work, is the antenna broken, etc. I also asked for an additional picture of the backlight on the 909. I received answers and the additional picture I asked for. Never hurts to ask.

It definitely had the best sound.

Yes I think they did Hope you can hear it again soon, thanks for watching and commenting!

Thank you, I keep forgetting about that!

Awesome tips! Thank you for watching and replying!

I have two MLA30 plus loop antennas. One I use for my portables, the other for my SDR. I will need to purchase an adapter/splicer to use my SDR antenna for both. I can physically disconnect and reconnect them if needed, but that's a pain to do under and behind the desk. I get good reception on my portables as well, but the antenna for the SDR is 3 feet above ground and the other is 10 feet. The one at 3 feet out performs the other, which is why I use it for my SDR. They are both the same model, but height makes a difference or me.

Turns out I had some spare cables I could use to use the antenna for both. Time for some testing!

Alright, good deal!

I'm glad you are enjoying the videos and thank you for subscribing. There a lot of excellent portables out there. I watch reviews regularly on TH-cam of radios to see which one works best for the price and features that are important to me. I have three Tecsuns (PL990x, PL680, PL368), two XHDatas (D-219, and D-368), and an Sangean ATS 909. I enjoy them all!

@@SWLSignals23-hp6vp Thanks so much for sharing that, I'll check them out today and let you know what I end up with 👍

Awesome, thank you for watching. Do you have any questions about what you watched, or did you like it?

You bet

Yep it was strong today!

Good luck to you.

Me either

You're welcome, thank you for watching!

I thought it might be based on some other videos I have seen. But thank you for the clarification!

Yes I agree, I've learned quite a lot from listening. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you.

Yes, 7.00.00 thru 7.125.00 is all digital only, cw (Morse code), Ft8, Amtor, Pactor, Hellschribner, and many new ones , I'm not into digital, another daytime band is 20 meters, 14.0 to 14.350.00, I've heard many vessels on the oceans calling hams for help over the years at 14.300.00 , that is MMSN ,Meritime Mobile Service Net, today many Captains ask hams to update their positions on "Ship Track", if they have computer issues on board, another good time to listen there is when Hurricanes break out around the world. That PL 990 is a nice receiver by the way... Watch your flea markets, people today don't know what they have, last summer I stumbled across a Realistic DX 390 for $2 !!

Thank you for the info!
