SW Listening log from 29th of May 2018. Yesterday, I spent about 1 hour time by the radio listening to shortwave and fighting with QRM noise. Unfortunately, I haven't received new sites, but signals from the Middle East were very strong here.
If everything goes well, I will be having a new antenna soon, but yet I will not reveal any details.

Listening logs from 28th May 2018. At the time when I was scanning bands, Sporadic-E was going on over central Europe. Lots of new catches last night, mainly from Woofferton (G) and Issoudun (F) transmitting stations.
The conditions must be very good over the UK since this is my first time when I received so many Woofferton signals. Also, first time on 12015 kHz I received Voice of Korea (German service), from 200 kW transmitter in Kujang, North Korea! Many thanks to Nick B. for the tip.

Listening logs from 22nd May 2018. Many new signals today! First time since my interest in Shortwave DX, I was able to receive (very weak signal) BSKSA Al-Azam Radio and Republic of Yemen Radio from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.
At 1734 UTC I was receiving 11885 kHz Channel Africa from an unknown site in Africa. Also at 1823 UTC, I received very weak signal of 11750 SRI LANKA BC from Trincomalee. Very good evening considering an indoor reception.

A nice surprise again. For the first time ever, I received 7490 WBCQ from Monticello, USA with TX rated at 50kW. The signal is extremally weak, but given the TX power, I am very happy with the reception. Also 6090 Caribbean Beacon from Anguilla was heard. Last but not least, a new DXCC country was logged - Uzbekistan, with reception of 9390 IBRA MEDIA/FEBA Radio from Tashkent site. All signals below has been entirely received on Degen 31MS Active Loop antenna as pictured below.

Shortwave listening is getting more interest by me therefore, I decided to get another receiver simply because good old DEGEN DE1103 is prone to overload, which I experienced recently during my mini DX-pedition.
I decided to buy Tecsun PL-680 for many reasons, but the main was that the receiver does not overload. The package arrived on Friday, the 11th May 2018. It's a brand new unit that I like it very much.
Unfortunately, I have been playing with video setting in my Canon camera and I switched to full HD video recording and all my recorded files are very big now (in terms of size) and it will take me some time to upload them on Youtube. I have been recording for about a week on full HD, so be prepared for the delay!
On 11th May 2018 I have received DEGEN 31MS active loop antenna that I purchased from a seler in China. I only made 1 log with the new antenna from that day. I really didn't have too much time to test it properly, but performance seems to be the same to the speaker wire that I use.

On 10th of May 2018, I was only able to listen in the morning. Nevertheless, some nice catches from Austria and Germany.

It was Bank Holiday Monday, the 7th of May 2018, when I decided to go outside and try to do some Shortwave DX. I know some quiet, QRM-free places in my town and I am going to visit them over the summer time and eventualy try listen Shortwave with portable outdoors.
I decided to go to a quiet place, far from man-made noise with rather an open field view so that I can have a better chance for good DX. An ex-airfield area in Hatfield has plenty of space for such a project.
Here are the coordinates of the place when I set up: 51.773885,-0254784. And below is the map view of the location. This point is about 2 km from our flat and is about 50 m from the boundary of the industrial park in Hatfield. There are some trees nearby to hang the wire.
I took with me DEGEN DE1103 portable receiver and 20 meters of speaker wire that I attach to the built-in-whip antenna. I also packed spare battery pack and a camera for recording.
I did have the Internet connection on my mobile, but I was writing down everything on a paper. It would take me to long to check the Internet for a given frequency so I decided to do it later. It was a good idea because the bands were packed with signals, as I found out later.
I decided to thrown the wire over the tree, so the wire was heading South West. Below are some photos how I set up the wire and how the area looks.
It takes me about 15 minutes before I set up everything and start listening. I eventually get tunning and I was amazed by a number of signals that I can hear. So many new languages were heard!
The most interesting is Pashto, Farsi and Amharic. Farsi is speaking in Iran and Pashto in Afganistan. Many new signals were received too. The most interesting is 6110 Radio Fana from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia and 6065 Voice of Hope Africa from Lusaka in Zambia. It's an amazing place for DX and I will certainly be going back for listening in that place.
Logs are below.

Listening logs from 8th of May 2018. I used built-in whip antenna for first three logs in the morning. Nothing special today, although Deutsche Welle signals from South Africa and Madagascar were received for the first time. Iranian reception at 7425 kHz, from Zahedan TX near the Pakistani border, is also a new one. Also, a couple of very weak unid signals received too, that are hard to determine.

Logs from 4th May 2018. Not the best day but also not the worst day. I actually listened in the early morning (only a few logs) and in the evening. Korean KBS World Radio from Kimjae was received at 1829 UTC. The first log from Jinhua-Youbu site was received 1912 UTC and finally, MWV KNLS from Madagascar logged at 1918 UTC.

Evening logs from 3rd May 2018. Only new frequencies are posted here. The signals that have been received in the past are omitted. I've done very well with French signals from Issoudun transmitting station. The target of this site is mostly Africa, so It's highly possible that I was receiving signals from the back of the transmitter. I also received a few unidentified signals. One has reference to radio mundial (in French)? A big surprise is also reception of 9880 kHz Radio China Int'l (in Esperanto) with a transmission target to South America.

Part 2 of 2nd May listening logs. This time with 20m long speaker wire thrown out of the window and spread around the flat. A very extensive evening with fantastic signals from Asia, Middle East and Africa. Marina Island (Agignan Point) has been received at 1812 UTC. It is my furthest SW reception so far!
