There’s something curious about listening to this tiny Sony SRF-SR84 receiver: when I hold it close to this metal fence, the medium wave reception improves significantly.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes:
Since the Brazilian government adopted legislation allowing AM stations to migrate to FM, the medium-wave spectrum has become more favorable for the propagation of radio signals from other countries—specifically, in the case of southern Brazil, from Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay. As night falls, the radio dial in Porto Alegre fills with Spanish-speaking broadcasts. And any receiver can pick up these transmissions—and I mean *any* receiver, including this Sharp SG-220 all-in-one stereo system from the late 1970s.
As long as the neighbors don’t turn on any electrical appliances (which cause terrible interference), it’s possible to tune in perfectly to stations from those countries. In this video, I take a quick tour of the stereo system’s dial so you can get an idea of ??what I’m talking about, including an Illustrated Radio Listening Report.

Climate cataclysms via CGTN (China), BBC (UK) and Rádio Nacional de España (Spain)
News reports from around the world already confirm the intensification of weather events driven by climate change and the already-announced arrival of the (super) El Niño. These radio monitoring sessions were conducted in Porto Alegre using two receivers: the Xhdata D808 and the Ecopower EP-F23B.

I notice that climate change—and now the expectation of an even more devastating El Niño—has been making headlines. In this bulletin from the Chinese broadcaster CGTN Radio dated July 3, we can see that out of the 11 news items presented, six cover topics related to the environment.
