    Thank you for tuning to one of the most difficult SW catches, Andre! Radio Wai FM broadcasts in three languages: Iban, Bidayuh/Kayan and standard Malay. I'm not sure which FM station feed the shortwave station relays as I've heard all three dialects spoken at different times of the day. 🙂
    The Kajang transmitter operates at 100 kW, according to one DX'ing blog and its antenna azimuth is 93 degrees.

      Thank you so much for the super thanks! I always enjoy catching this one, because it is a little bit unusual, not a regular catch.

      I doubt that could buy you a nice hot cup of latte in downtown Jo'zi but I figure if all of your subscribers donated $1 each to your channel, you'd have the ATS-25 Max Decoder, Malahit DSP-2, Tecsun PL-330, 660 and 990 with enough change to buy a year's supply of FreshPak rooibos tea bags! 😀 🍵

    Andre always great to hear your DX section from your new “Q” radio. Now if you could only travel as fast as your radio…what a travel agency that I use…😂!
    73! Have a great day!

      That would be a great travel agency. Not only fast but worth only the price of the radio! And you can visit lots of places that you could never really afford to visit!

      That would have been wonderful, I always wish I could travel more. Imagine visiting places like Brazil or North Korea as easily as catching their radio stations :-)

    İ was able to pick up KBCS Radio North Korea from the Netherlands. On 11635 kHz SW with my Qodosen SR-286 on my Deshibo GA-450 active loop antenna! 73's from Holland!

    • @swlistening
      @swlistening  6 месяцев назад +1

      That's a great catch! North Korea is always fun to catch, whenever I DX I always look for North Korea :-) I don't always get it on my other radios though, but the Qodosen seems to find it every night now, sometimes weak, sometimes stronger.

    Nice DX But I receive the R Nacional Amazonia rather well here because I think it’s the way the antennae are beamed. Nonetheless it’s all still very amazing receiving stations from so very far!

      Thank you! Amazonia is a station that I always look for, sometimes I hear it quite nicely, but mostly it is rather weak here on my side.

      @@pregabalin-fix I also wish I had some better antennas, my 10 metre wire and the MLA30 work nicely. But on the Qodosen especially I can hear many signals that just about want to come through, just not strong enough. I am sure a better antenna will help for that.
