Hello All, Like Dennis, I was chasing audio from Mongolia on Longwave this morning, and had threshold audio on both 164 and 209 kHz using a new Longwave FSL antenna. Unfortunately both signals were too weak to check against each other, or the SW parallel on 4830 kHz. 189-Radio Rossii in Belogorsk was the strongest of the 5 Rossii TP's this morning, a very rare situation. Medium wave TP-DX signals were fairly average, except for an extremely potent signal from 1566-HLAZ at 1322 which maxed out the PL-380's S/N display at 25. This was the strongest signal from HLAZ ever received here (over a 5 year period).
