Hi Nick,   <<<   That's pretty good DX for mostly barefoot portables, and from 30 miles south of one of the world's largest cities.  I wonder why the Degen was noisier than the others?   >>>   Well, from what my Japanese friends tell me, any kind of TP reception on a barefoot portable

Did you mean "Do any other radios have this problem when using HDSDR?", Aaron? Perseus, WiNRadio, NetSDR and CloudSDR record the whole MW band with their native software to my knowledge. (though Perseus users favor Mestor for unattended recording), and from your description so does the QS1R.

Excellent resource, Phil. Many thanks for uploading it! I hear a tonne of TIS's in Masset, but they are always at just threshold level, so to have a good resource will be invaluable (all on 1610, by the way). It's been years since I heard any Alaskan TIS stations. I can confirm Honolulu
