Title: MW Arctic coastal maritime logs Nov. 28, 2018
Post by: Kilokat7 on December 08, 2018, 2100 UTC

Here are two new logs captured from a SDR recording while monitoring 1710 for pirates and other oddities.  These are weak signals, so the use of headphones is encouraged! 

1713 kHz Vardø Radio, just a few kHz above the BCB broadcast band and located at the Northern tip of Norway, with maritime report in Norwegian language:  https://youtu.be/S0yYRPrrSnc

1731 kHz Svalbard Islands, a little stronger and also in Norwegian with maritime report: https://youtu.be/hUwtV7RgIUE

Svalbard is about as North as one can get for a radio station carrying any kind of voice transmission and probably qualifies as my most Northern logged station to date.

There are several coastal maritime stations still operating between 1710-1800 kHz that make great DX targets.

Nice catches! I've logged a few of the MW coastal stations from Europe, but neither of those.
