Connection from the Heights: Marco Hommel’s Unique Radio Experience on Radio Delta

Today, we have a remarkable reception report that truly stands out. The sender is Marco Hommel from Bretnig, Germany, and he experienced something unique while tuning into our frequency.

It was a crisp morning on January 5th, 2025, at 08:10 UTC. Marco was using an ATS25 Max Decoder, coupled with a 5.6-meter Groundplane antenna. The setup, although not the latest technology, proved to be exceptional due to the unique location.

Picture this: the snow lightly falling on the slopes of the Waaserberg, where Marco has set up his receiver. At 600 meters (1,969 feet) above sea level, this elevated position offers a perfect vantage point, allowing for superior signal reception that would otherwise be hindered in lower terrains. The breathtaking views and serene atmosphere of the Waaserberg create a wonderful backdrop for this radio adventure.

Initially, Marco received us on 6.170 kHz with a SINPO rating of 35443. He described the reception as good, providing him with a delightful mix of instrumental and Polka music, accented with the lively talks that Radio Delta is known for. Later, at 12:10 UTC, he tuned into our frequency on 12.085 kHz. This time, the signal was even stronger, boasting a SINPO of 45544, and the audio quality was exceptionally clear.

Thank you, Marco, for sharing your experience with us! Your connection from the beautiful heights of Bretnig serves as a reminder of the power of radio to connect people across distances, transcending geography and technology.

Reception report from the heart of Lapland

We have a captivating reception report from the breathtaking landscapes of Finnish Lapland. Picture this: In the remote serenity of Inari, nestled deep within the Arctic wilderness, two AM radio enthusiasts, Jari and Timo, have dedicated their evening to the pursuit of distant radio waves. With a sense of adventure and a passion for the airwaves, they have crafted an impressive, 1,250-meter-long Beverage antenna directed toward the eastern United States.

They huddle inside their cabin, surrounded by the gentle glow of a wood stove, creating a cozy atmosphere amid the snow-laden pines outside. Equipped with their trusty Microtelecom Perseus receiver, their anticipation grows as they adjust dials, momentarily breaking the solitude with whispers of excitement. On December 29, 2024, at 15:06 UTC, the feed crackles and suddenly morphs into clarity. The unmistakable tones of Radio Delta International reach their eager ears. A moment of pure delight as they confirm the identification—it’s us! Their excitement is palpable, even in the cold, untouched expanse of Lapland.

Jari and Timo extend their warm greetings, expressing gratitude for our transmission. They share their love for AM DXing—the art of detecting and identifying distant AM stations across the globe. Their remote listening spot, free from the inescapable hum of human interference, allows them to revel in the thrill of discovery, gathering signals from the ether. With this heartfelt reception report, Jari and Timo wish us all the best. They affirm that AM DX is thriving warmly in the heart of Finland—an encouraging thought as we navigate the unseen waves of communication around the world.

A Heartfelt Connection: Ivan’s Tribute to Music and Radio Delta International

We are thrilled to share a heartfelt letter from Ivan Lebedev, a dedicated listener hailing from the enchanting city of St. Petersburg, Russia. In his letter, Ivan expresses his gratitude for the wonderful music that fills the airwaves of our station, particularly the timeless rock ballads from the 1980s. Among his favorites is the Scorpions’ hit “Send Me an Angel,” a song that resonates deeply with him, filled with the mysteries of human existence.

Ivan lives in the city famously known as the site of the “white nights,” a poetic phenomenon that he enjoys during the warm summer evenings. Picture him, in a nearby suburb, tuning in on his vintage radio receiver—a classic device with dials and knobs that crackle to life, bringing our broadcasts to him, even across the miles. As he adjusts the frequency, Ivan is enveloped in the nostalgic sounds of our station, celebrating the music that has shaped the lives of many.

During the summer, Ivan engages in his hobby of DX-ing, where he explores long-range radio stations on shortwave frequencies. This is how he discovered Radio Delta International, connecting him not only to our music but also to a broader world beyond his own. As winter sets in, he often resorts to WEB SDR Receivers from Europe, eager for the day when he will venture outside again in search of our signal with his Degen 1103 and Sangean ATS-909 X receivers, equipped with a Long Wire antenna.

Ivan also shares the joy of listening to a local station, Retro-FM, which plays similar music from the 1970s to the 1990s, creating a nostalgic soundscape that evokes fond memories. A special shout-out comes at the end for our very own DJ Hitti, whose humor and anecdotes add an extra layer of enjoyment to the listening experience.

To Ivan and all our listeners around the world, thank you for your continued support and for sharing your stories with us. You remind us why we share these waves—bringing people together through the power of music.
