#hamchallenge #HC32S "Listen to a broadcast station from another country": I did a quick tune over the 19m band, and I stopped on 15290 kHz where I heard a Japanese transmission with a very strong signal. As expected, the transmitter of this is not in Japan but in France. From the very same site, I also picked up Radio France International on 15300 kHz. On 15350 kHz I found a much weaker signal with lots of fading: China Radio Int., transmitted from Western China (Kashgar City) @hamchallenge

So eight languages in just about one hour scanning the broadcasting bands. Quite interesting, we should listen to short wave broadcasting bands more often!
We used a 2.5 m vertical on the balcony into an FT-818.
To identify the broadcasters we used the websites https://shortwave.live and https://short-wave.info .
While the first is nicer to use on a smartphone the latter shows also the transmitter location. -
Shortwave broadcasting nowadays seems to be dominated by China Radio International: this evening we heard transmissions from them in Russian, English, Czech, Hungarian and German.
Additionally we received Radio Romania in Serbian, Korea Broadcasting System (South Korea) in French, Voice of Turkey also in French, Voice of Korea (North Korea) in English and Korean, Voice of Vietnam in German and Radio New Zealand in English.

@hamchallenge Week 32: Listen to a #DX broadcast station
Handy timing w/ that RadioWorld article about the open source #TEF6686 radios. Ended up with a new hobby and two #shortwave radios this week! 🤦♂️
Still getting adapters for the external antenna etc, but a good handful of international stations! e.g.,:
Rádio Nacional da Amazônia - great, my wife speaks Portuguese!
Radio #NewZealand - I learned they say ‘aloha'!

Wow, that was interesting.

@hamchallenge I accidentally stumbled upon this on 17619KHz AM @ 1618Z. Sounds like Chinese?
