[Lowfer] Radio Morocco LW-AM on 171 kHz

[lmlangenfeld]

In years not too long past, I could copy multiple EU LF broadcast stations from southern Wisconsin on rigs as simple as a TS-130S/L, simple LF preamp, and a ~ 100' long wire. Mind you, the sigs were not "armchair copy" but, on good nights, programming could be heard without much "imagination." Too bad these opportunities are disappearing.Mark -- WA9ETWSent from my  U.S.Cellular© Smartphone

People posted on this list earlier that this is one ofthe worst years for LF in recent history. I haven't even bothered lately.Gedas, what antenna are you using?
