The TitanSDR’s narrowband scope tuned to the KBC
For your listening pleasure: three hours of The Mighty KBC.
This broadcast was recorded on May 24, 2015 starting around 00:00 UTC on 9,925 kHz.
I used the TitanSDR Pro hooked up to my skyloop antenna to capture this recording–in truth, though, the signal was so strong it could’ve been easily received on a portable here in eastern North America.

In the meantime, here’s a recording from last week to wet your appetite:
