  • SDR.hu closed to non-hams?

    The requirements for the registration process has been the same all the time I think, the difference is that you can't access the site without being registered. When I signed up in 2017, I was allowed to register with a "shortwave call", basically SWLKQ40LS in my case, and I was admitted.

  • Antenna recommendation for listening to faraway DRM broadcast inside a city

    Someone on an SDR facebook group reported good results with the MLA-30 a few days ago. Don't know his mileage though.

    I agree that the Alibaba "Megaloop" is probably not worth its money, even at that price level. However, my reference to Bonito was the NTi MegaDipol/MegaLoop, not the Chinese thing. People seem to think this is a Bonito brand. It isn't, and NTi is clearly marked on the box. Bonito merely sell them.

  • New Kiwi arrived to Arctic Norway

    S/n 4340. Quite impressive! As usual I did a sensitivity measurement, and ended up at around -102 dBm on MW and LW (AM, 6 kHz bw, 400 hz 30% modulated signal). The Mayor has promised fiber this summer (it's local elections the coming autumn), so if he keeps his word I will have two Kiwis available, with antennas directed towards North America and towards Asia/Pacific.
