@shortwave78 Hi there looking for advice. I got a Tecsun PL 880 whats the best SW antenna just a simple long line cable or it would be better a fancy one. Second the region where you are located has to do much on your reception or it doesnt matter at all.

@VR_FR_Spotter The area of ​​the world where you live is essential to know, based on ionospheric propagation conditions, what you can expect to receive, at what times and on what frequencies.

@VR_FR_Spotter Hi, I've never owned a PL880 or similar. I think it's best to avoid active or high-gain antennas to avoid overloading the receiver. Try asking on some PL880 user pages/forums.

@stanzaselvaggia Madò quanto sei ignoranteeee!! Pensa a fare il #GFvip che puoi capire giusto quello. Studia: x.com/i/status/20288… Oppure mi raccomando stai vicina all'amichetta #Bruzzone con cui condividi molte cose. E meno male che almeno ti sei allontanata da #Garlasco...

👀⚠️ The mysterious Farsi-language Numbers-Station on 7910kHz, received in 🇮🇹Milan at 18:00 UTC on March 3, 2026. Probably the most interesting radio signal in recent times.

I’ve been observing the changes in the restricted area of the US armed forces in the Böblingen forest for years. There used to be five antennas. By the mid-2020s, everything had been dismantled. Today, there is only a single antenna left, along with a new technical building 1/2

⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Numbers Station “V32” Reliable sources claim that the location from which the ciphered Farsi/Persian-language transmissions are being sent, has been pinpointed with extreme precision. I don't want to reveal the exact location. Have fun in the comments.

@Paul92417890 No. There is an even more reliable way. Go very close to broadcast centers with a portable receiver, and if the signal is strong enough to be received even after disconnecting the antenna, you've found the source.

@shortwave78 There's only one reliable way and that is 3, or more, calibrated Direction Finding sites to produce a cocked hat response and a proper derivation made. So far the origins have been identified as Cyprus, Israel, Germany, Tanzania [!] and of course Ramstein AFB. Probably all wrong

@shortwave78 It’s at a shortwave broadcasting relay with a big curtain antenna on Tanzania not some random log periodic in Germany. Is that log periodic big enough for 40m (20m across?). Nope. Remember the targets will be using consumer portables with maybe a short indoor wire for RX.

🚨⚠️🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Due to Iranian jamming on 7842 kHz, the Farsi/Persian-language Numbers-Station has returned to broadcasting on 7910 kHz. Iranian jamming, however, has again followed the Numbers-Station and the radio-war is going on. RX via 🇨🇾Cyprus webSDR at 02:37z March 18 2026

@Ja_u_Beogradu The signal appears to be coming from Central Europe. It may take a long time and many triangulation attempts to get reliable results.

@shortwave78 Good morning. Did anyone succeeded to identify at least the country of origin g of this signal?
