The SWL DXing news report (episode 11): Future of Tecsun PL-680, PL-660 confirmed, AWR rumours

Welcome to episode 11 of my series, The SWL DXing news report. In this podcast I talk about radio-related news, frequency changes, new stations, closures and anything else that might interest DXers. This programme is presented as a video podcast, so you can just sit back and listen, or enjoy the visuals in the video. There is an RSS feed link via Spotify, the RSS feed link is in the video description. In this episode I have an exclusive reveal about the future of the Tecsun PL-680 and PL-660. I have news about AWR possibly ending many of its transmissions, and a report about some strange behaviour on a BBC frequency. Then I have two quite long and very interesting reception reports from Ayush in India and Alex in Turkey. Ayush and Alex shared some very interesting thoughts about SW listening in their areas. I end with the usual HF propagation forecast. All pictures are my own or in the public domain.
