Title: Radio Algerie International 252 Khz
Post by: refmo on January 01, 2018, 0007 UTC

Good signal from Algeria this evening with pop music and French announcements.  S4 to S6 @ 0007.
0027 - Whitney Houston tune with OM announcer partying along, saying 'oh, baby' over the song, S6.  The auto-notch is busy with several NDB's in the passband.

How about that my first longwave station received. Thanks for the post refmo.

My first check in several weeks (about 5 hours ago) showed 171 Morocco at -80 dBm.  It was nicely copiable.  That was about 45 minutes before local sunset here in northern Michigan.  Faded down and now seems to be climbing back up, though not as strong as earlier.

252 not making much of a show here, tonight.

Congrats to the first-time LWBC reception by myteaquinn.  What is your setup?

Scott was using a NRD-505 with an RF Systems MLBA MK-II antenna.

Looks like a repeat of last evening.  171 is big here in Michigan just before local SS.

What's different is 183 is there too, though weak, and BBC on 198 is present - a rarity as DIW usually dominates.

Nil 252.

Happy New Year.
