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.

Summer solstice bandscan 2024.
Last night was a washout due to rain. Oh, well… at least the vegetation was happy.

I slipped outside around 2230Z in calm weather with drizzly showers. The LW band yielded five signals: Allouis, RUV 1/2, BBC 4,  Poland (I presume) and some European music on 252 kHz. I couldn’t catch anything to ID by before I had to retreat indoors, away from the next shower.

The MW band was a kind of surprise. I wasn’t expecting anything but the Brits. They were there, of course, with Talk Sport (1053/1089 kHz) at the top, but I did hear Spanish stations on 648 and 747 kHz, plus weak voices on several other frequencies, though none were strong enough to ID.

DXing from the Baltic Sea

Despite a very busy schedule aboard ship, I’ve still managed to spend a few minutes DXing from our balcony, using my simple Qodosen SR-286 portable, fed via an old spool antenna from Grundig. 
Last weekend was actually very good later in the evening while burthed at Warnemunde, Germany. 

Here’s what was heard on and MW 10 May 2024 from 19:20 UTC
756:  SRR Romania at good level
855:  RNE with soccer play by play at good level.  Many // noted including 909, 1107, 1152, 1179, and possibly 945.
927:  WMR as described above (5930  World Music Radio, Denmark with Spanish vocals at good/very good level.  // to 927 at excellent level with WMR ID at 19:20 UTC (and only 0.3 kW).
999:  Moldova  Radio Rossii at very good level in Russian
1170:  presumed Radio Capodistria, Slovenia with EZL music at good/very good level
1278:  UR1 Kurisove at very good level
1323:  Presumed SRR with English oldies at good level, and // I think, to 1332 and 1404 and 1530
1440:  very good level with English pop music.  Probably Radio 208, Denmark with only 600 watts.
1548  Moldova   TWR programming at very good level.

13 May (tonight)  Leaving Helsinki, enroute to Stockholm:
1053  Radio Maria, St Petersburg at very good level at 16:03 with monotonous rambling by a single YL
684  Radio Radonezh, St Petersburg with similar programming to above, but not in //.  Also very strong.
1035  Radio Eli, Estonia  Russian religious programming.  Very good level.  
Otherwise, a blank on the MW dial at this time (7:00 PM local)

Spring bandscan 2024.
Unlike last night, which was rainy; tonight was dry, if cool and windy. I got outside around 2140Z.

LW was quick: Allouis, BBC R.4, Poland and what i believe was a weak peep from Gufuskálar.

Last night I had to make do with scanning through the Panny tranny’s memories on MW. The band sounded quite lively with even BBC R. Wales audible on 882 kHz in the bedroom window.
The band was weaker tonight with nothing but a single Romanian (1179 kHz) above 1100 kHz. Talksport (1053 and 1089) was the strongest station. As usual, 1053 kHz was the stronger signal, most likely because it always has local interference on it (grmbl!).

So nice to have decent reception again.
