By the way, you can make a small donation to the Radio Heritage Foundation via PayPal, the work on this extensive project has really earned it.
Slowly, the first stations from Asia can be heard again in the evenings in the medium wave band here in Salzburg. Tonight DWUN-AM, UNTV Radyo La Verdad, Malabon/Manila around 21.00 UT on 1350 kHz. WinRadio G33 Excalibur PRO, K9AY;

G33 Excalibur PRO, CR2dx Whip Antenne;
It feels like you hear almost only thunderstorms in the medium wave band this summer, much stronger than the last few years, plus very weak signals that never come from a preferred direction. Nevertheless, there is always something to be heard at sunrise.

WinRadio Excalibur PRO/CSO, K9AY-40 Meter;
Today the single K9AY antenna was installed in perfect weather, loop range now 40 metres, reception performance and switching of direction (Asia/South America) works excellently.
Today my Bonito delivery arrived by post in Salzburg. RG316D/DS coax extensions, 2.9mm thin, Teflon, double shielded with copper. Very, very clean work, thank you Bonito – Dennis Walter, your cables can really be recommended.
First preview: Yesterday the extension to my IP antenna switch arrived. In future, antennas, antenna directions, preamplifiers, bandpass filters, attenuators and other additional devices will be switched much more conveniently via the network. Many thanks to Jan, remoteQTH.com and Mike, remoteswitch.de for the joint development and perfect implementation over the past months.
A not everyday station from Argentina: Radio Nacional Tucumán from the city of San Miguel del Tucumán could be heard here in Salzburg this morning around 03.30 UTC on mediumwave 1190 kHz.

Yesterday the station Sor. Wor. Thor from the Nong Khae district near Bangkok could be heard at the end of transmission at 17.00 UT in Salzburg on mediumwave 891 kHz. Excitingly, sunset at my station is currently at 19.52 CEST, so reception is almost an hour before sunset. Received with the 150 metre Asia Beverage.
