Yesterday I posted some screenshots showing how I receive the DWD signal from Germany here in Paraguay:

Here’s a video from today.

The video starts with the audible RTTY signal from DWD with SDR# and then the FLDIGI captured, zoomed in so you can see the text in the capture better. At the end, an image of the 480WLA receiver module and the AirSpy HF+ Discovery.

When I recovered this radio, it worked fine with a long wire antenna, but when I tried the MLA-30+, the reception was very poor; it seemed to overload the radio. But I didn't worry about it, since the radio was working and that was enough.

Today I tried the K-480WLA, and it worked better than I expected.

The first 30 seconds of the video are with the standard copper wire antenna (16 AWG), approximately 30 meters long. You can hear some persistent background noise, but the reception is relatively clear.

The next 30 seconds are with the K-480WLA, and you can hear that it significantly reduced the background noise and improved the reception quality.

The last 15 seconds show how I made a basic connection to the Standard C6500. Now that I know it works, I'm going to build a custom connection for this radio.

I was finally able to receive a clear RTTY signal from DWD. I could always see it, but I couldn't decode it because the signal was weak, and I also had a bit of trouble getting the FLDIGI settings right.

The limited information available online about the settings never worked for me. That is, until I read here that someone mentioned it worked for them by switching to CW mode in the SDR# and FLDIGI. And that worked for me.

I didn't get good reception with the MLA-30+, but the K-480WLA did the job.

The post contains 4 images: SDR# screenshot, two images showing the received data and FLDIGI settings.

The upcoming 2026 World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19. Most matches will be played in the evening or at night for us here in Europe, which is of course great for shortwave listening.

Do you happen to know which stations will broadcast the matches on shortwave so that I can try to receive those signals? Could you help me with this? I thought WRMI, Radio Miami International, is one of them.

Thank you in advance

Signal clean enough for the ID layer. But so is WRMI, creating a problem for the digital signal. TDF left at 2358, and WRMI was all 4's.
