True, and they have been for years. The bands 'ain't what they used to be'. It seems like China Radio and religious/talk programming dominates the dial. RNZI and a handful of others are the few remaining gems.
HF BANDS Open
- Thread starter Saint
- Start date
At least Brother Scare isn't on six different transmitters at a time.
I pickup a fair amount of HFDL also
Going through the HF Bands to see how the propagation is tonight and I can say it's terrible again.

Got up to pee at 4 this morning. Decided to stay up and see what the HF bands were doing. Not very well. I get better signals around 8 to 8:30 pm.
Try around 9pm tonight. I’m next state over from you so you should be able to get some good stations.
Listening to I think is ATC on 5.520 USB. New York name keeps being said. Fading in and out.
Yes it's New York Radio CAR-B

Wasn't to bad last night. Haven't heard anything on 6.000 Mhz in awhile but last night around 8:45 pm, it was booming. Used to be voice of cuba. Not sure what it was as it was spanish speaking. Picked up some faint signals that faded in and out too. Am hoping my new antenna does better when I get it set up.
That probably was Radio Havana Cuba
I got a Chinese station from Cuba last night in the 6000’s. Also CFRX 6070 Toronto.
Things aren‘t bad at all here in WI tonite. Caught New Zealand at 17675 kHz, weak but definitely there. Radio China came in a bit weak but definitely there at 11820 kHz. Then 10 minute later on the same frequency Radio Romania was booming. CFRX Toronto at 6070 was there. Also 700 AM, a clear channel MW station from Cincinnati. It’s a 50,000 watt boomer, but I don‘t get it here all that often.
Great reception of RNZI 7425 kHz this morning.
Some great stations logged here!
700 AM is WLW, one of the pioneer broadcasters which was founded by Powel Crosley Jr of the Crosley Radio Corp. It's been on the air since 1922. In the 1930's, WLW experimented with a 500,000 watt transmitter on the AM broadcast band.
WLW's "Big-Arse" Transmitter

If you have a iPhone, and your using your speaker to listen, there is a translation app that you can use to see what foreigners are saying. Works pretty good. Not sure if android has one but probably does have one.
At 00:14z 19:14 local, X-ray flux is C1.59 and slowly declining and Kp at 0+, I'm looking for some decent signals with low noise tonight. Look for CME impact Wednesday-ish to bring noisier conditions, possibly with a geomagnetic storm alert.
RNZI on 7425 and 7440 have been nice in the early morning hours the past few days. 17675 is usually weak until close to frequency change.
WRMI 9455 coming in clear with some classic R&B.
Good DXing!

I’ve tried that and it also works pretty good for me
