Signals from South America can be heard from time to time on the medium-wave band, though they are usually not very loud. However, the absence of thunderstorms is helping to ensure good reception.

Paraguay.

On 21 March 2026, there was a good window for Paraguay on the medium-wave band. I listened in using Perseus and the AziLoop antenna.

A few square metres of space, an area as free from local noise as possible – that’s all the AziLoop system needs.

ABC, Australia.

Posted on March 8, 2026 by remotedx

ABC Newsradio from Busselton on the Australian west coast, 13,547 km away – about 220 kilometres south of Perth – could be heard again yesterday evening at around 22:00 UT on medium wave 1152 kHz in Salzburg. Caution is advised when receiving the signal, as a small station from Taipei, Taiwan, can usually be heard on exactly the same frequency (1151.994) from 20:00 UT onwards.

New AziLoop ready.

Posted on March 7, 2026 by remotedx

The new AziLoop system is now fully installed. Mast height 7.5 metres, loop circumference 26 metres each. The antenna not only receives excellent medium wave signals from all directions, it is also perfectly remote-controllable and the best antenna I have at my location.

Top 10 DX Contest.

Posted on March 3, 2026 by remotedx

The annual TOP 10 DX OF THE YEAR contest has now been evaluated for 2025. István Biliczky writes to me on behalf of the organiser: Congratulations to Christoph Ratzer (Austria) who not only won the contest, but also set a new record in the “Total score” and the “Best DX” category. Thank you very much, the contest is always a good excursion into the shortwave bands, and despite the smaller number of stations, it is a challenge to receive the most distant stations with low transmission power. Thanks also to all participants in the event. And as always: “see you in the next contest”.

SWB 2100!

The new Shortwave Bulletin is available for free download.

Thomas Nilsson writes:

“With this issue, we have produced a total of 2,100 issues since we began in 1961. In the 1960s, there were many rare stations to hunt, especially in the tropical bands.”

Congratulations on this achievement. It is special to still have such a good magazine in 2026, a great and always high-quality summary of shortwave activity!

Finland.

A very nice QSL card from ZoomRock’s first official broadcast day from Finland on medium wave 1242 kHz. The transmitter is located in Naantali, one of Finland’s oldest cities, and has a licence for three months, until the end of April.
