Hello all, just getting back with an update. I decided to use some of the frequencies and schedules that were provided and I managed to pick up AIR on 11670 kHz and I listened to them from 1910z until 1935z. They were playing a variety of cultural Indian music, afterwards a female announcer came on and gave a station ID, followed by a male announcer reading a news bulletin of some sort. Signal was weak with static from my desk, but when I moved my setup to the window the signal was significantly clearer, once again only the telescopic antenna was used, as the reel antenna's seem to increase the noise floor significantly.
Thanks for your help!

I have pl 660 too. When I unboxing, found Tecsun wire antenna inside box. It helps a lot to defeat static in audio. Now, I can hear near perfect while listening American religious radios (WWCR etc.) or Radio Havana Cuba. Did you reach the link? Was it help you?

That is a great little site you provided, I like how everything is also shown on the world map. I have the wire antenna that comes with the radio and I also have the Sangean ANT-60 reel antenna, which is pretty much the same as the other antenna. The problem I get with them is that they typically increase the noise floor making listening sometimes worse than without the antenna. I don't know if it's the placement or something else. So normally I just use the telescopic antenna, and even with that I'm surprised at what I'm able to hear, especially on the 31m and 25m bands during the evening hours.

Unfortunately there's no way to show all online stations in a single map there's massive handicap of that site I wrote this administration I hope soon it will be fixed.
I agree wire antennas has increases noise level if you compare telescopic antenna but when the telescopic became uselles (pirate or lower power stations and far distances) It helps a lot.
