Bandscan na Onda Média com o XHDATA D-808 / Medium wave bandscan using the XHDATA D-808

Porque importa distinguir o que se sintoniza na Onda Média durante o período diurno do que se escuta durante a noite, publiquei no MWLIST um "bandscan" realizado no meu QTH habitual para o desafio do Ultralight DX, utilizando o meu XHDATA D-808. A lista encontra-se disponível no endereço: https://www.mwlist.org/fi_bsall.php?omid=2167 .

English:

Because it is important to distinguish between daylight MW reception and skywave night Ultralight MW DX, I published a daylight MW bandscan using my XHDATA D-808 in my usual QTH for the Ultralight DX Challenge. The list is available at https://www.mwlist.org/fi_bsall.php?omid=2167 .

Apesar do ruído atmosférico (QRN) elevado, consegui captar no XHDATA D-808 emissões do Irão, da Arábia Saudita, do Egipto, da Roménia, entre outros países. As condições nesta noite não têm sido as melhores, mas mesmo assim tenho tido mais tempo para o DX.
