Excellent signal in New York when listening with a 15 ft long wire antenna, SINPO of all 5's, Focus on Africa with a program regarding job growth in Tunesia.

Great to hear such a good signal on 17830 kHz.
Florida, always listening via my Tecsun PL-660 receiver.

Glad you had such good luck with that frequency.  I'm guessing I'm not terribly far away from you in here in Connecticut.  I have had better reception on 15400 at that time.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
