Just purchased an antenna phaser NCC-2 for noise-cancelling purpose.
It is huge and heavy (8.25 lbs) !
Two small indoor active loops (BCL-LOOP) were used for testing.
Received 17815 kHz (station name unknown…sounds a religious program). Looks working nicely!
Received in Fort Lee, NJ, on 26-June-2017 at 6:32PM Eastern Time (2232 UTC). 11580kHz.
Receiver: BST-1 Car Shortwave Radio
Antenna: Whip
RAE, which has been broascasting in Japanese langurage for a very long time, is the most difficult station for SWLs in Japan to receive. Now it is transmitted via WRMI, and can be heard with a very strong signal, at least in USA.
Received in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and Wiesbaden, Germany
on 5 – 16 of May 2017, night time.
Receiver: Microtelecom Perseus
Antenna: BCL-LOOP 12 Rev.5 (Indoor)
I improved my portable loop structure a little bit using a selfie stick as the mast.
243 kHz. Received in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

I encountered this station when I was traveling Amsterdam last week. This kind of “real” interval signal reminds me of my old days when I listened to so many shortwave stations in the world.
9875 kHz. Received in Niigata, Japan.

This program was for a memory of the shortwave transmission from Lithuania that was closed recently. The signal was very strong in Japan as it was transmitted by 100 kW from Tashkent. I used to listen to Radio Vilnius on shortwave in 1970-80s. Their English program was nicely received in Japan in the daytime, presumably via Radio Moscow’s network. Of course I got the following QSL card.
6090 kHz. Received in Niigata, Japan.

Receiver: Microtelecom Perseus
Antenna: AAA-1 Small Loop (Indoor)
The video is the ending part of their broadcast. ID sounds like “Yeh ye-Amara Radio” (perhaps meaning “This is Radio of Amhara”). There is some interference from CRI on the same frequency. Their local music actually sounds very similar to Japanese traditional falk music. I want to let people there listen to our music and hear their impression some day!
7490 kHz. Received in northern New Jersey, USA.

Nice and stable signal! The video shows its opening and ending.
