First Australian DX Reception in England On the evening of January 28, 2025, at 21:00 UTC, I received Australia on medium wave at my location in the Fens of Eastern England. The station was 6EL, located in Metricup, Western Australia, on 1494 kHz, at a distance of 14,564 km. The name Metricup sounds like a […]

When I moved to the east coast (of England) in 2010, I had expected my reception of exotic EastAsian stations to be somewhat better than it was back at my Nottinghamshire home.

by Steve Whitt It is likely that reception of MW radio signals from Australia (and New Zealand more so) in the UK should benefit from something called antipodal focusing. But what exactly is antipodal focusing and does it really exist? This topic started as a thought experiment many years ago and I revisited it recently,
