1116kHz 4BH Brisbane, QLD, Aus Thu Oct 14 at 1459UTC with fair signal, oldies song into station top of hour id and female newsreader. not the best signal I've had from them by any means, but I've rarely caught a top of hour from many stations. 6.3kw night power at 6850 miles. Audio: http://bit.ly/Aus1116Oct14_1459utc
1314kHz Sky Racing Radio, Wollongong, NSW, Aus Thu Oct 14 at 1620UTC with live horse racing action. Signal and audio are poor and fade down a bit, but no mistaking what this is vs the other 1314 in Australia thats sports TALK. 5kw at 7344 miles. Audio: http://bit.ly/aus1314Oct14_1620utc
1386kHz Radio Baltic Waves International, Viesintos Lithuania on Mon Oct 18 at 1549UTC woman talking in a slavic language. I've heard them much bettr than this before. 75kw via 4239 miel transpolar path. Audio: http://bit.ly/3Lithuania1386Oct18_1549utc

1449kHz IRIB World Service, Bandar-e Torkaman, Iran in Turkmen on Sat Oct 16 at 1510UTC. Signal is pretty decent with a bit of a het from KLAM 1450 300 miles away but gets abundantly clear just a little over into the recording. I'm guessing at the rate at which the guy is talking and a few of the words I pick out, this is some kind of religious recitation/speech. 400kw via 5835 mile trans-polar path. Audio: http://bit.ly/Iran1449Oct16_1510utc

1512kHz IRIB Radio Ardabil, Ardabill Iran on Fri Oct 15 at 1611UTC with somewhat lively chat between two men.

1548kHz Radio Sawa via al Kuwayt, Kuwait on Fri Oct 15 at 1623UTC with what sounds like a promo announcement by a woman then a man begins talking. Fair signal but some atmospheric noise. 600kw via 5927 mile transpolar path. Audio: http://bit.ly/Kuwait1548Oct15_1623utc
Alaska AM DX Mon. Oct. 18
Paul B. Walker, Jr.
Had a brief, good blip of Iran on 1449
Had a slightly longer but only "Decent" rise up of Iran on 1026.
Had my first sighting of Radio Baltive Waves on 1386
Vesti FM on 1413 Moldova made a weaker then usual showing.
1386 Lithuania and 1413 Moldova can be very strong here.
Iran is a transpolar path for me so if this stuff is showing up now, it only means good things for the rest of winter I think

Thanks for the trans Arctic reports, Paul.
It might be worth using my north Flag at sunrise here over the next few weeks to see what pops up. Normally, I use the west Flag in the mornings, but that's not so good for trans-Arctic signals.

I would call that an excellent reception! You are in the null of their pattern to the northwest.

Trying to get any ABC local radio or national stream to play on a phone or tablet can be tricky and it’s a bit hard to find sometimes.
Here is an ABC help desk page thqt lists a direct URL to just about any ABC Local or National station stream you could want.
Clicking any link should get it to play right in your phone or tablets browser. It might want to download a playlist file on a PC, but it’ll load directly to the stream and not a website where you have to go hunting for the stream.
