Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following FM radio recordings made while flying over northwest Africa. Carlos writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flying over Northwest Africa towards Paris yesterday I managed to listen and record FM stations from countries like Senegal, Mauritania, Morocco and Spain, at an altitude of 10668 meters, using the native FM radio of my cell phone. Interesting thing is that it was only possible when I got close to the plane emergency exit. Back to my seat I wasn’t able to listen.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing this, Carlos. Impressive reception from your cell phone’s FM receiver!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without fail, I always try to listen to FM stations as I fly. This also reminds me of a post from our archives when Ivan used a small SDR to DX while on a flight<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you again and happy travels!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
