i would highly suggest unscrewing the cable when done not from the radio but the antenna or maybe run the cable to a switch thjen switch to the antenna and unscrew at a switch.
the weak point of all the TEF6686 radios is the antenna connection and ive had mroe than a few show up bad or go bad. trust me... ive had more of these radios than most normal people should ever have
1/5 19:48 CST 1590 KC Hispanic music, probably XEVOZ Mexico City 900 watts.
Good copy at the moment. Briefly heard an oldies format station. No idea who that might be. 20:00 Positive ID WCGO Evanston, IL. They previously broadcasted on 1600, now 1590. 2.5 kW overnight with 4 tower directional array. Briefly heard. Oldies doesn't fit their format.

Possible new distance and new country log from Springfield, OH on 1060AM. My Spanish is very limited, but I believe I am hearing XECPAE. Been getting some great new logs this week from the south, several new from Cuba.
I would love if someone who is more familiar with the Mexican stations (or this one), could listen to a clip and verify either way. I tried uploading a small audio clip (8MB), but got a file too large message. Anyone know what the max size is? I can trim down to just what I think is the call sign.

Radio Educacion was the giveaway for me.. that is in fact XECPAE. I recognize those voices form their simulcast on XEPPM 6185 and the sounder at the end of the id.
Might help you in the future, google "spanish letters" and as long as the letters are pronounced clearly, liek in your clip, you could be able to compare what youre hearing to a pronounciation guide
Yippee! Thanks so much for listening.
I actually did the letter thing but couldn't really make out the E.
Lately MW Conditions have been poor, but there still are a few standouts.... ZEPE 1700 was in louder than I'd heard them in years last night, with talk in Spanish. KBRE 1660 was in OK with rock, KHPY 1670 Moreno Valley was covering KQMS Redding (unusual) with Spanish language praise music and talk. 1480 KEBJ Eureka was in with oldies, KBMS was mostly MIA. KPAY 1290 was just behind KUMA Pendleton -- KUMA has been MIA over the past week or so due to crap MW conditions (solar flares). KRVM 1280 was in readably the past two nights with JPR programming. It's usually buried beneath KIT and a couple other signals.
On the lower band, anything below 660 was mediocre. KOAC 550 usually is a mainstay. The past few nights it's been MIA. Same with the mid 800's channels -- the DX channels are mostly MIA.
Sangean PR-D4W / Tecsun PL-398, loop.

Typo.... the keys are next to each other and I didn't catch it... woops. Thanks for catching it though. Can't correct it now.
We had a big (for us) tropo lift on Christmas Day of all days. My best catch during the lift on just a little portable Sony with the telescopic antenna was BBC Solent (96.1), a regional station covering the south coast of England, about 200 miles from the transmitter. The dial is extremely crowded in the UK, especially in a city like Manchester, so any kind of DX on standard radio equipment (rather than specialist tuners and big directional antennas) is a rarity. The Solent station overpowered a local on 96.2.

106.7 KXDR MT, Pinesdale; with mention of Anderson Broadcasting and rock music, decent fadeup. 38KW, 187 miles.
92.7 KMSW OR, The Dalles; ID 'Classic Rock for the Gorge, KMSW'. Only 3.4KW at 266 miles!
Also noted 95.9 KHNK Columbia Falls MT (288 mi) and 94.3 KBYI Rexburg ID (209 mi), these are rare.
Most via aircraft scatter, we get a lot of cruising altitude aircraft over west central Idaho.
Can't wait to see what meteor scatter or Es will pop up on this thing!!

Is this with the 30-2460? Looks like it packs a punch.
My local 1190 WLIB is currently off the air. Therefore, I got WTSD "1190 iHeart Sports DC" Leesburg, VA from 216 miles (348 km) away. It was received in Clifton, NJ at around 8pm EST.
At around 4:56pm EST, I received 940 WKGM Smithfield, VA in Clifton, NJ. WKGM is around 302 miles (487 km) away from me. I didn't hear the Legal ID, but heard the Joy FM network branding. The signal was weak at first, but got better until 5:15pm EST when it switched to nighttime power.
