Propgtn Night Reception of Spain and Australia on 20m

[sunwave]

1:39am cdt local -5 GMT 0639utc. Night time on 20m was open between Spain and Australia. I am in Oklahoma City, OK USA. Not strong but enough to copy what they are saying. I usually record it for YouTube but today I uploaded the mp3 file in .zip archive to this thread for all who wants to hear it. My current setup is MLA 30+ active loop antenna (indoors), SDRPlay RSP1b, and SDRuno.

14.225MHz upper side band.

That kind of propagation makes smiles!

Yeah, it's nice when 20M kicks in at night. It's been a bit rare compared to earlier Solar Cycles (at least here at my location), but still happens. Just had a good night monitoring 20M with EU stations working the US (Calif, Texas, Hawaii, WA) and vice versa. As late as 11:30 p.m. local, which is very good for 20M. The higher bands were dead, but 20M was good.

So was the 21 Meter SWBC band. RNZI was local strength on 13690 kHz, with R. France Int'l in French to Africa (very weak, in splash) next to it on 13695. On my Radio Shack 200629 (ATS-505) and an indoor 30 ft wire.
