Marcus’ countryside mobile listening post

The Di1/4sseldorf evening skyline

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Marcus Keulertz, from Di1/4sseldorf, Germany, who writes:.

Here are some nice pics about my own special way practicing our beloved radio hobby. I was quite satisfied with my logs.

I heard Radio Taiwan's Mandarin broadcast and All India Radio National Service in vernacular languages. I did [all of this listening from] my little car there.

Thank you for sharing, Marcus! Looks like you've found a peaceful spot to enjoy radio from the comfort of your car.

Indeed, you're doing exactly what I tell urban listeners today who have difficulty hearing stations from home: head to the countryside and escape the radio interference! It's simply amazing what you can hear when your receiver isn't being overwhelmed by RFI/QRM.

Sometimes it takes very little distance from sources of urban noise-even a city park (as our friend London Shortwave routinely demonstrates) offers enough of a noise buffer.

Thanks for sharing, Marcus!
