Hi All, There is at least one Japanese DXer who is extremely thankful for NHK2's early sign off time. With 693-JOAB off the air, Satoshi Miyauchi was able to receive 693-Bangladesh on a 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave Ultralight next to a window inside his house-- something that he apparently hasn't been able to accomplish with any portable for over 20 years. Maybe not as impressive as Chuck and Bruce's reception of the same station at Grayland in 2009, but it does seem to have made his day! <<< PS It's only a piece of night time that I can tune in radio on weekdays, it's rather later time of the day, just after your local dawn like UTC14:00, and last night I was very excited to catch Bangladesh on 693 past 16:00 UTC, with your 7.5" loopstick CC Skywave radio, surprisingly at home / window side! I think this must be after more than 20 or nearly 30 years since I could catch them on portable radio at home! FYI, that time, I have been (and still own some) using those "classic radios" with own made air loop antenna.
