Hello friends of Radio Delta International, the signal on the 75-meter band in Spain isn't very good at this time of day. We'll have to wait until nightfall to see how it is. The signal is weak, noisy, and fades out. I'm sure the signal is better in Central Europe; we're in a worse area here at this late afternoon. That said, what little I'm hearing I'm really enjoying. I'm using a wire with a homemade amplifier and a Tecsun PL365. I'll keep testing the signal in the next few minutes to see if it improves.

Good evening from Santa María de los Llanos in central Spain. Radio Delta was coming through nicely on 6190 kHz tonight, and I had the opportunity to listen in two very different ways.

Hello Radio Delta friends, strong signal again in central Spain, tuning in with the Sony ICF-SW11 with a telescopic antenna indoors with moderate noise and a very stable signal with excellent sound quality, spectacular!
Good evening from Santa María de los Llanos in central Spain. Radio Delta was coming through nicely on 6190 kHz tonight, and I had the opportunity to listen in two very different ways.
I first listened outdoors using my Tecsun PL-368 with nothing more than its telescopic antenna. Later, I continued listening at home with my Panasonic RF-3100L and an amplified loop antenna. It is always interesting to hear how the same shortwave signal sounds on different receivers and antennas.
The reception was good, with a SINPO of 34433. I especially enjoyed the music and the excellent modulation — something I have come to appreciate when listening to Radio Delta.
I recorded two videos of the reception as a memory of the evening. For me, this is part of what makes shortwave so enjoyable: taking a portable radio outside, tuning around the bands and then continuing the same listening experience back at home.
Radio Delta — the best of shortwave!
Greetings from Spain,

Hello, friends at Radio Delta. The signal is good in Spain today, although it’s a bit weak on my Kenwood R5000 receiver because I’m only using a 5-meter wire antenna. Fantastic music, and very good modulation and sound quality.
Hello Radio Delta friends, good signal this Saturday afternoon! Radio Delta is quite stable with few fades, although there's some thunderstorm noise to the west and south of where I live, but it's not as annoying as usual. I'm listening with the Panasonic RF-3100L and my amplified loop antenna, and I'm also listening to a little dog named Kuki, who appears in the attached video. Thanks, Aart, for the broadcast.
New signal report I'm making on September 4th, but now with the Philips D2935 receiver from the edge of town with a 20-meter antenna. The signal is very strong, there are some occasional fades but no noise, the music sounds very clean and with very good sound quality.
Hello Radio Delta friends, fantastic signal today in central Spain. I'm listening from my house in Santa Maria de los Llanos with a Grundig Yaht Boy 360 receiver and a modified amplified loop antenna. The signal is quite strong and very stable with minimal fading. I also get a signal with a telescopic antenna, but it's weaker. Propagation is excellent. Later today I'll try broadcasting outdoors where I'm sure I'll get a much better signal.
Hello! This afternoon I'm listening to Radio Delt from a nearby town called Belmonte, which is famous in Spain for its ancient and well-preserved medieval castle. I can see it right now as I listen to Radio Delta from a hill nearby at sunset.
The signal is much stronger today, partly because I'm using a 20-meter wire. There's some fading and a slight background hum, but it sounds great. I'm using a Panasonic RF-3100L receiver.
Happy Sunday afternoon and thank you very much for the broadcast.


Hi Aart,
As always, it's a special pleasure to hear from you. Today is a special afternoon; I'm trying out a new receiver, although it's not exactly new since it's from 1985. I bought it today after taking a trip to pick it up, and I'm taking advantage of the day to explore and travel. The receiver is a Panasonic RF-3100L, and Delta radio is one of the first things I'm tuning in to, as I went to a village a little while ago to buy batteries.
Right now, I'm in the municipality of Campos del Paraiso, about 90 km from my hometown of Santa Maria de los Llanos. I'm on the banks of a river called the "Rio de Valdejudios." The signal, although weak, is very clear and doesn't fade, just using the receiver's telescopic antenna. This Panasonic has excellent sound; it's a piece of equipment with that old-school sound.
I'm sending you a video and some photos.
Can I request a song by a band called Saurom? The song is called Magia; they're one of my favorite bands.
Thank you so much!



Good afternoon, good reception this Saturday afternoon of Radio Delta in central Spain. We're still hearing thunderstorms, although not as loud as in previous days. Great music, Radio Delta is the best radio station! I'm using a Sony 2001 receiver from the early 80s.



Hi Aart,
Today I'm listening to Radio Delta at dusk here in Santa Maria de los Llanos, in the province of Cuenca, Spain. As always, I'm using an Intersound WE-12M receiver, which is actually a Sangean ATS-803A that was sold under countless brands. Very good reception with some fading, but excellent sound quality, and today there's hardly any noise from the storms. Great music, a pleasure as always to listen to you.
Hi, it's been a long time since I've been able to listen to Radio Delta. I've been really looking forward to it; it's one of my favorite radio stations, and it's always a pleasure to listen.
Today I'm listening at sunset in Santa Maria de los Llanos, in central Spain, where luckily the temperature has been lower.
The signal is coming in very well, if it weren't for the storms in Spain that are causing loud crackling on the 49-meter band.
By the way, I'm using a Philips D2935 receiver; Philips isn't listed among the brands on the website.
I'm really enjoying the music on the program and reading the listener reports; it's wonderful.
Would it be possible to request a song? It would be one by a Spanish band I love called Mago de Oz, and the song is "El Último Rezo" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0RNbk09tAA
Thank you very much, best wishes, and I'll keep listening!
Radio Delta is one of my favorite shortwave stations. It's a unique listening experience, a station made with a lot of love and passion for radio. Thank you very much.
