Got my hands on a #shortwave radio, but the fact that I live in a giant concrete box doesn't seem to be helping my reception. Seeing what I can do about that.

Are there any broadcasts that are worth catching that I'd be able to get in Southern Ontario?

Kevin Davy reshared this.

I can't speak to specific broadcasts, but space weather has been such that we're not hearing much of anything on shortwave this week.

I could not hear CHU's time signal on 7.850 MHz at all yesterday, and it's only faintly heard today. I can hear WWV weakly on 15 MHz, not much on 5, 10, or 20 MHz.

The concrete box isn't helping, but it's not the only thing going on.
