Winter solstice bandscan 2024
…zzz-huh?
I woke up and stumbled outside at 0020Z on the 22th, Panasonic transistor radio in hand. It was cloudy and chilly in the (thankfully low) wind.
Here, the LW band is down to France, the UK and Poland, all of which were listenable.
Signals were weak on the MW band with only the Gang of Brits (FiveLive, TalkSport, R. Scotland and R. Wales) being listenable.
So, it was one of these times I’d wish I sat in a comfy&cozy farmhouse with a good outdoor aerial plugged to a warm tabletop receiver.

Thank you, Reynir for getting out in the cold and make this bandscan. I guess that your wish for Christmas is a good aerial outdoor 🙂 (Ydun)

Spain

Translated from Spanish:
Autumn on Medium Wave.
Medium Wave is starting to open up little by little. Every afternoon is different and some stations appear and others go away. It is precisely when some leave and close the transmitter that others appear, if we are attentive.
Qatar is now doing very well on 675 kHz, with wide and generous identifications. Also Madeira on 1530, and Radio Nacional de Canarias on 720 kHz, fighting tooth and nail with Portugal.
And so on in many frequencies…
Good DX!

Autumn bandscan 2024
Good weather tonight. Finally. Went outside ca. 21Z with the Panny tranny.
LW: Allouis (162 kHz), BBC R.4 (198 kHz) and Poland R1 (225 kHz). Gufuskálar (189 kHz) was either still down or inaudible on the Panny.
MW: Close to dead. BBC 5Live (909 kHz) and TalkSport (1053 kHz, 1089 kHz).There was faint auroral glow visible in the sky when I finally looked that high up. So much for hoping there would be more than FM and webwave to listen to. (Note: Webwave is just my term for Internet radio.)

Pacific bandscan

Recent observations of the following Pacific MW stations whilst on a DXpedition to Rarotonga, Cook Islands.

Radio Tuvalu Funafuti 621 observed to be signing off at around 1000 UTC daily, with national anthem, and not 24 Hour as per WRTVH, however the transmitter remains on until sign on with no audio, so obviously no remote switching. Announced sign on 1825 UTC.

Radio Samoa Apia 540 observed to be signing off at 1100 UTC daily, not 1000 UTC, as per WRTVH usually mid song without national anthem, or announcements.

Radio Kiribati Tarawa 1440 heard signing off daily at 0940 with national anthem. 846 Kiritimati still off the air.

Radio Majuro Marshall Islands 1098 heard signing off with national anthem at 1130 UTC. id’s as Radio Majuro, or Radio Majuro V7AB. 2 years ago there was no sign of it, so I can only assume there was transmitter issues then.
