Excellent reception on the bedside PL-600 with its wire, solid music line up this morning - perhaps the best they have ever played. Length and strength of reception this morning has been remarkable.

Excellent reception...test transmissions on these frequencies for next Friday's Mid-Winter Antartica broadcast due to be on until 2145. The annual 21 Jun broadcast is one not to be missed - a homespun, quirky, musical letter from loved ones back in the UK to their missed relatives in Antartica.

General Radio Discussion / Adios amigos, ESPN to shutter Desportes radio network
« on: June 11, 2019, 2055 UTC »
Desportes will shut down in September. Perhaps their largest affiliate is WEPN 1050am in New York, a 50,000 watt class B station - the original home of WFAN. The current flagship of the NY Yankee Spanish radio network.

Shortwave Broadcast / Voice of Greece Euro 2020 Qualifier 9420 am 1908 utc 8 Jun 2019
« on: June 08, 2019, 1914 UTC »
Very good reception in Greek
While spinning the dial, I came across the cadence of 2 OM's doing play by play of soccer in Greek. At first, I thought is was possibly coverage of the Woman's World Cup but Greece did not qualify. After hearing some Italian names, I figured out it was the Italian/Greek Euro 2020 qualifying match. Surprised to learn that VoG did live sports.
1908 Two OM's in Greek in fast, high pitch cadence - assumption near goal by Italy based on Italian players named in pressing the action.

Shortwave Broadcast / BBC Liverpool/COYS Champions League Final 15400 am 1639 utc 1 Jun 2019
« on: June 01, 2019, 1643 UTC »
Very Good Reception, PL-880 with its wire...I expect to have to change frequency to keep listening. Match kickoff between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspurs is 1900. (Oh yes, COYS = Come On You Spurs)
1639 Pre-match build up by 2 OM's including replay of Milner's goal sending Liverpool through past Barcelona.
1645 2 OM's recounting how dramatic both semifinal matches were and a pair of English teams emerged. Audio clips of Spurs 2nd leg win over Ajax.
1700 News including Virginia Beach shootings
1708 Sportsworld gives way to current events programming
Now 13660 & 15400
1813 2OM's with Africa-centric program
1834 Pre-match coverage. YL "Champions League Final Live on the BBC World Service"
1857 "Live coverage coming up. The Champions League anthem plays. Here's the news (at :58)"
1900 OM giving starting XI's, moment of Silence for 35 year old Sanchez who passed today (part of Arsenal's Invincibles)
1903 Kick off. Handball called on Spurs, PK to be taken by Saleh. He scores 0-1 Liverpool. (Ugh!. End of play by play recording. Only frequency changes and goals)
1959 BBC off 13660 & 15400, poor reception on 12095
2014 Reception up to fair. "He plays the ball off to Saleh"
