No particularly strong signals, but southern South America can be heard on the medium-wave band almost every day here in Salzburg.

Signals from South America can be heard from time to time on the medium-wave band, though they are usually not very loud. However, the absence of thunderstorms is helping to ensure good reception.

ABC Newsradio from Busselton on the Australian west coast, 13,547 km away – about 220 kilometres south of Perth – could be heard again yesterday evening at around 22:00 UT on medium wave 1152 kHz in Salzburg. Caution is advised when receiving the signal, as a small station from Taipei, Taiwan, can usually be heard on exactly the same frequency (1151.994) from 20:00 UT onwards.

The new AziLoop system is now fully installed. Mast height 7.5 metres, loop circumference 26 metres each. The antenna not only receives excellent medium wave signals from all directions, it is also perfectly remote-controllable and the best antenna I have at my location.

Yesterday evening, February 19, 2026, I was able to receive 45 stations from Japan on the 160-meter amateurradio band, i.e. on 1.8 MHz in FT8 mode here in Salzburg. I used my AziLoop antenna, direction 60°, and a fully automatic Web-888 SDR from Hamparts_shop as the receiver, which forwards the logs directly to PSK Reporter.

I was able to hear DXKI-AM, “Your friendly Voice“, here in Salzburg at around 21:30 UT on 1062 kHz in December. The station in Koronadal confirmed reception to me today: “Thank you so much po sa pakikinig Bro. Chris. Yes tama po kayo na yan po ang programa namin dito sa 1062 DXKI po Koronadal here on the Philippines“. My first medium wave confirmation from the island of Mindanao on the Celebes Sea, which I am very happy about. Perseus/Jaguar and AziLoop antenna – three days before the mast broke – a fond memory.
