Autumn Equinox Bandscan
I didn’t remember to skip outside with the radio until one after midnight. The weather was dry and chilly, plus some aurorae to the north.
The LW band had France, UK and Poland, and a weak signal on 252kHz, presumably Algiers.
The MW band had the big British stations and an assortment of Spanish stations. The Brits were not at their strongest. Auroral influence?
Well, that’s it for now.

A very pleasant surprise to hear Algeria on 252 coming in loud and clear playing lots of Jazz currently. It is 1 hour after sunset local. Report from 01:30 to 02:00 UTC.  If it were not for summer static it would be well worth recording.
Also an even nicer surprise was to hear BBC-R4 on 198 still coming in very nicely !!!!!!!  TDF on 162 was strong as horse-radish (as always). 171 has a nice strong carrier and very nice modulation. No signs of Poland on 225 or Algeria on 153.  73

I went outside shortly after midnight in good, calm weather, if foggy.

On LW I heard Allouis and Radio 4, the latter probably for the last time. There was also a signal from Algiers on 252 kHz, varying in strength.MW was also quite variable, though only Talk Sport (1053 and 1089 kHz) was of decent strength. The other Brits were weaker, and R. Scotland (and 810 kHz) plain inaudible. A few stations from further abroad (Spain and C. Europe) would appear and disappear as I made round after round along the band.

I had two goes at it this time. The first was at ca. 1950Z when I went to turn on the entrance and outside lights. A bit of wind and rain but I could tell that only the Brits were audible. 1089 kHz was the lone listenable signal at that moment. The other Brits were still rather weak

I next remembered the radio at 0115Z. Still some wind but the clouds were clearing away. I was still only getting Brits at a usable strength, with weak voices and fluttering carriers to remind me that there are still countries other than the UK that use the MW band.
The LW was ‘a very quick bath’: France, England and Poland.

These are the medium wave radio stations in São Paulo and the metropolitan region, which, even with the migration process to FM, continue to offer their services in MW. Several are already operating in FM, but thanks to a goodness from the federal government, they can continue to broadcast in medium wave for another 5 years, after the migration of their station.
These records refer to what was tuned on February 14, 2024, from 1630 to 1700 UTC.

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)
