Radio User November 2022

wiessala@hotmail.com Hello and a warm welcome to the November edition of RadioUser. As the days get shorter and the DXing, hopefully, better, I am dusting off my AOR AR7030 to start listening out for new and exciting programmes and signals from far away. When I am after reception quality, rather than distance achieved, I tend to connect the SDRplay RSPduo more often at this time of year; and in case I just want to listen to some hiss-free global music, learn a language better or scan US airports, my Roberts Stream 107 internet radio comes into play. I suppose I adapt my listening to what I am after each new day – what type of listener are you? News Hunter, Signal Monitor or Music Fan? Or something else altogether?…
