Last night I was listening to 6501USB USCG Kodiak AK.WX @343UTC heard some splatter in the background tuned around to monitor UNID people talking on 6500 USB in SP language? Recorded 10 minutes of their QSO (non hams) on the RSP1A hooked up to a roof mounted MLA-30 loop antenna.

Equipment / Re: MLA-30 Loop antenna

After years of using a 25ft. long wire antenna, I decided to purchase and set up the MLA-30 Mega loop antenna for the Sangean 909X2. Other than having to buy some SMA connectors and the coax plug for the antenna port I'm very happy with the results with MLA30, which exceeded all my expectations. I have since stopped using the long wire and use the MLA30 on both the Sangean and the SDRuno RSP1A. You can't go wrong with the MLA30 in my opinion, despite what the detractors say about the mega loop, it out performs any antenna I've tried for SWLing and you can't beat the price!

I just joined this group, looks like an interesting place to hang out! Here's my list of Cuban (female) number station frequencies that I've monitored over the last couple of years. 10715,11530,11635,13740,16180,17480,11435,10860,10345,11684. Most of these freqs are very active, I've logged 4 broadcasts in one day but mostly it's hit and miss according to time and freq. Expect to hear these broadcasts any time of the day or night. They are usually broadcast in AM have yet to monitor any of them on USB or LSB. My radios are the Sangean ATS 909x2 with a 25ft. long wire and the SDRuno RSP1 hooked up to the MLA-30 mega loop antenna, nothing fancy, monitoring these frequencies requires diligent listening however since they seem to broadcast randomly.
