Trans Atlantic MW DX with JRC NRD-535DG on 18/01/2012

Trans Atlantic medium wave DXing at my home near Hannover (Germany) with my JRC NRD-535DG and Wellbrook ALA1530 active loop antenna on 18 January 2012.

Stations received:
1130 kHz WBBR Bloomberg Radio, New York - distance: 6175 km
1390 kHz WEGP Presque Isle, Maine (presumed) - 5390 km
1500 kHz WFED Washington, DC (presumed) - 6496 km

WEGP and WFED are the U.S. stations usually heard here on 1390 and 1500 kHz respectively, but as I did not hear any ID that night I prefer to label them as "presumed".

Unfortunately, I had very little time for DXing this week so I could not do a DXpedition during good TA DX conditions.

@MARKGM20877 Thanks Mark... WBBR is certainly the most frequent TA catch at my QTH since Croatia stopped overnight use of 1134... What you hear in this video is what I usually get at home when conditions are decent and local noise is lower than average. For better signals I think I'd have to live about 250 km farther North. The passband shift helped to overcome the otherwise muffled sound of the NRD pretty well. Cheers & stay tuned Matthias

Nicley Done Matthias..with the indoor loop WBBR was particularly coming in well its a struggle against noise but you timed it well and the loop does a good jobl for you cheers Mark

@tvdxrools Thanks David... Indeed I can't complain about the Wellbrook. Fortunately, local noise is a bit lower that early in the morning so some DX may get through if the conditions are right. I hope the weather will improve soon to allow for another DXpedition. At the moment it's awkward with storm and rain. Cheers Matthias

the Wellbrook ALA1530 certainly works well ... look forward to more .. cheers david
