Hi all!

As I'm struggling with a virus for some days now, there is a  lot of space for 
sleeping, weird dreams, and: I put my little home made LW-TRF-Radio beside the 
matress and hung up a abt. 4sqm wireloop on the balcony which is 80% outdoor, 
20% indoor.

Usually listening to "Polskie Radio I" under the blanket, last night (17.I.9) I 
was on the go enough to tune the tuned-radio-frequncy to other longwave radio 
channels. Strolling around the broadcast band I found at least *something* 
beetween the local DLR 177kHz and BBC4 198kHz. 

Listening very carefully from 0:46UT there was Rock Music, short announcements 
in beetween,  followed by something which sounded like marine weather station 
reports (??). And yes, it definitely appeared to be   a nordic tongue speaking! 
Reception was Q2 to Q3 with local noise and interfering neighbour stations in 
the background. (The shape factor of one bandfilter - although carefully 
arranged litz-in-potcores - is not that dramatic ;)  ) 

At 1:00UT DLR's (177kHz) switchover to DRM modulation interrupted the reception 
with terribly broad band noise. The 177kHz-TX is only 29km away from my home.

Taking into account, that the list of LW-TX's lists only Icelands 
"Ríkisútvarpið" transmitting from Hellisandur on 189kHz, I see high evidence 
that I really was receiving this one! Distance from google maps distance 
calculator ist 2505km. Did not expect this to happen in the city center of 
Berlin and had/have phantasies to try this Hellisandur once portable, from a 
remote area, with a looooong beverage antenna or something like that. Surprise 
surprise!

Will do this again today night.

Regards
