Noticed that they're clearing out the Eton Elite Executive... still listed at $199 on Eton''s website, but $49ish shipped on Ebay.. YMMV. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Eton+Elite+Executive&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313. #swl.

Finally got my HF radio antenna back up at home after a few weeks down on the ground following Cyclone Alfred.

No it wasn't damaged, just it was taken down a few days before Alfred's arrival to prevent damage, and we only just got around to getting it back up this afternoon.

There are some rather close tree branches, but just trying it as a receive antenna… I've got Radio New Zealand coming in loud and clear on 13690kHz AM.

I'm using the FT-897D's general coverage receiver to pick this up.

China Radio International were also coming in loud (as they often do).

Odd repeated message.

This was on 5920 KHz on 2025-02-24 at 4:56 UTC, and stopped at 5:00. I have no idea how long it went on for, it just kept repeating over and over.

My 2025 World Radio-TV Handbook arrived yesterday, woohoo!!

Love these things - was it expensive? Yes. Did it take a month to get here from England? Yes again.

So why do I buy them? Lot of reasons:

1. Internet isn't up sometimes
2. I like books
3. If I and others keep buying them, they'll keep making them!
