Is there an e day? There should be one. e makes calc so easy (unlike sine, cosine, tagent, and the rest of the trigonometry cabal).

Shortwave Broadcast / BBC 17640 AM 1626 UTC 26 Jun 2016 - Euro 2016 Germany vs Slovakia
« on: June 26, 2016, 1627 UTC »
1626Z 25332 S3 Play by play commentary of the Germany vs Slovakia Euro 2016 match. // 693 kHz BBC Radio 5 Live.
1647Z 25332 S3 End of the first half. Germany 2, Slovakia 0.
1648Z 25332 S3 No longer // with 693.
1659Z Off air
Checked other BBC HF frequencies (11890, 12095, 17830), but not receiving them here.
After 1700Z, been keeping an eye on the next set of HF freqs since the top of the hour (15400, 17780, 17830). 15400 & 17780 are dead and 17830 has a rare moment when can recover some audio, but can't really make out what it is.
1744Z 15431 S3 17830 has come up ever so slightly, enough to make out the audio. Game play by play and // 693 kHz.
1745Z 15431 S2 17780 is in the noise, but occasionally can hear audio enough to make out // 17830 & 693.
1745Z 15400 is swamped by local QRM.
1748Z 15431 S3 17830 is now staying barely above the noise most of the time.
1749Z Game over. Germany 3, Slovakia 0
1751Z 15431 S3 17830 is no longer // 693.
1759Z 17780, 17830 off air

Listened to it while on my way to the grocery store this morning. On the way home, ~1305Z, signal was much weaker and pretty much at the noise level.

Did you hear the BBC with any games? I tuned around on the U of Twente's receiver a bit while at work, but didn't find anything. Came across REE on 15500 with a game in Spanish (which does me no good, except for GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!)
Went down to MW and listened to the games. More fun on SW, but MW is better than nothing.

Very cool Token, thanks . That gives me some ideas. And you're doing pretty much what I want to do.
I haven't seen SDR-Console, but I'll check it out.
