My First Ever Attempt On BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast

 BBC Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast  for 2018 was heard here in my QTH on three frequencies( as per lastest update posted on mt-shortwave.blogspot.com) 5985kHz & 9890kHz (via Woofferton) and 7360kHz via Ascension Islands on )June 21st (of 2018).

RX:Grundig Yacht Boy 400 

ANT:Cu WIRE 78' Length 30' Height With COAX LEADIN  

Geographical Location of Reception Place(Abhayapuri):

Longitude:26º18´20´´North

Latitude:90º37´50´´East

And the signal was audible on 5985kHz & 9890kHz.And the reception (the signal strength )was better on 9890kHz than 5985kHz.The fading was there on both frequencies.

And on 7360kHz there was heavy noise plus perhaps sideband splatter & very very difficult to pick up the audio contents.

Here is the link to the audio recorded on 5985kHz from 2129utc:
