@@swlistening Yeah I usually DX around 13 to 15 UTC. And from 01 to 05 UTC although less stations are usually on air or not propagating during the 01 to 05 time.
Vatican radio is transmitted from Talata Volonondry on Madagascar on a site is located in the commune since the 1970s. Established by RNW, since 2013 MGLOB SA has aired contract programming from Rádio Dabanga, NHK World Japan, Deutsche Welle, Vatican Radio Adventist World Radio, and the BBC World Service in English which André shows in another video. This is just off the internet,so yes its from the island of Madagascar although i have no idea how much power they are running.
Great video André. Many thanks. I hope you’re having a wonderful vacation on Réunion. Can I ask please….What is your go to source for listings of English language SW broadcast updated listings? Take care, and have safe flights and travel. ✈️ 🌴 🌴 🌴 👏🏼 👍🏼 🙂
Thank you so much for your nice comment Robert! I use various sources, to be honest. None of them seems to be perfectly up to date. My first choice for a free site is shortwavedb.org. They seem to be about 95% up to date. The short-wave.info site does not seem to list everything. My favourite site is the World Radio and TV Handbook web app. But it is a paid site. Not 100% up to date, but about 99% there 😀
I agree that SW DB is a better source overall but sometimes I get hits on SW Info whereas SW DB brings up nothing. Also SW Info shows broadcasts at different hours, which can help sometime identify stations when the schedule is not perfect i.e. a station is not supposed to broadcast at the current time, but really does. I always have the two open when I do SWL.
Hello André, interesting scan. Scan from last night, you wrote? it looks very much like daytime to me 😁 TWR from Guam is rather clear indeed. NHK from Yamata, Republic of Yemen Radio from Riyadh, VOA from Tinang, BBC from Oman and more are all impressively strong and noiseless. Puzzled by the weak signal on 11760 that you skip over in the video. Is Radio Liberty from Biblis a station you can catch from SA too? IRIB always sounds severely undermodulated when I catch it. I'm impressed that you can recognize Mongolian when you hear it!
Thanks Alain. Well, perhaps it was early evening, not really night 😁 It was around sunset here. Many signals appear to be really noiseless here, you are right. I am guessing that one signal is Mongolian because I heard something similar before, that chanting-style signing, and it was identified as a Chinese Mongolian signal. I fear I probably missed some signals, because this was outdoors and there was a lot of ambient noise, like church bells and people talking and cars... So maybe I missed some weaker signals. You don't hear the surrounding noise, of course, because I recorded my catches on the Retekess V115. Very useful to have that little recorder with me!
I fear there are no surprises. I scanned MW last night, quite late. I only heard three signals from Mauritius. I will see again tonight. I will upload a video anyway, even if it is only Mauritius.
@ I've had great catches on the XHDATA D-808 and the Qodosen DX-286 though. But only when it is "MW season" here in the Southern hemisphere, when it is our (short) winter time. In summer I don't get anything great really. I just thought I would try anyway here in Réunion, but it is like at home, just not the right time for MW here now.
I thought so too 😀 But apparently it was named after someone whose surname was Hell. It is a surname that is originally of German origin that means "hill".
There are a number of reference sites for this. Not sure I can post URLs in this comment without facing the axe from UA-cam, but searching "shortwave info" and "shortwave db" will likely bring to two of the most used ones.
As Alain said, I use various listing sites. I particularly like the World Radio and TV Handbook, but it is not free. Sites like shortwavedb.org are great and free.
Band scans are one of my favorite !
Hi Chuck, I'm glad that you like band scans! I like to make videos with band scans 😀
radio sounds grate wear you r grate video thanks
Thanks very much for watching!
Very nice shortwave scan! I most of these signals during my morning (13:00 UTC) although not as strong.
Thanks Liam. Interesting, so these are more or less at the time when you DX? Great that you hear most of these in Denver also!

I heard Radio Vatican in Swahili. I found that signal is from Madagascar.

Denge Gel and the Turkish Jammer in Reunion? I hear them a few days ago.
Indeed!

@ It's true, I actually also use more than one site while I am DXing, because there still isn't any one site that is 100% complete and correct.

Oh, and about Radio Liberty from Biblis. Yes, I have heard it in South Africa.
I’m eagerly awaiting MW 😅

@ To be fair there’s not much you can get on a portable really but will still be interesting especially if there’s nighttime stations.

Hell-Bourg is an unfortunate name. 'I'm going to Hell Town'
I thought so too 😀 But apparently it was named after someone whose surname was Hell. It is a surname that is originally of German origin that means "hill".
@@swlistening ''... named for the former admiral and island governor Anne Chrétien Louis de Hell...'' according to Wiki
@@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt Indeed!
I also wonder how you know all the frequencies all the stations are broadcasting on.

@@F4LDT-Alain Thank you Alain.
@@swlistening Thank you André. And I watch all your video`s because radio is also my 1 big hobby.
Chinese International Radio jammes Radio Romania International.
Not jamming, but I think they might use the same frequency sometimes.
