Australia.

At the beginning of January 2026, I was able to hear ABC News Radio, 6PB from Busselton, on the now free frequency 1152 kHz in Salzburg. To my surprise, the signal was not only audible for minutes, but Jaguar’s good spectrum image is of course a great help with such weak signals. Graham Himmelhoch-Mutton, ABC Master Control Radio, very kindly confirmed reception, my third QSL from an Australian ABC station that I was able to receive in Salzburg.

“New” AziLoop.

The new solid Spiderbeam mast has arrived in Salzburg. I am now using the extremely robust bottom 5 elements of the 18-metre Spiderbeam HD mast. The clamps for the upper points of the loops have also arrived. All that’s missing now is the top cover and the right weather for installation.

Philippines.

On the evening of 21 December 2025, very good signals could be heard from the Philippines. With my AziLoop antenna pointing towards 60°, I was able to receive the following stations in Salzburg:
