A scan of the shortwave bands for amateur radio operators.
(Times GMT approximate)
15:06 We start with GB100BBC a special event station marking the 100th anniversary of the BBC.
To mark this momentous date exactly 100 years on, members of the BBC Amateur Radio Group have been invited by Arqiva to operate for the day at the Daventry transmitting station that was home to so much of BBC shortwave broadcasting over the years.
We hear them working various stations including a portable station in Chichester UK M0SPW not far from me.
15:43
Next we hear ES5TTT in Estonia working stations such as OH6ZS in Finland and W9ZX in Illinois USA
15:51
Next we hear 5B4KH in Cyprus working stations including VE2ACP in Canada,
15:54
Moving up the dial a little we hear VE1FA also in Canada on a short QSO.

Next we hear LZ1ND in Bulgaria calling for DX
Finally on 29.620 mHz FM at 15:59 we hear various American hams on some kind of repeater network, surely coming in on lift, it was very hard to tune and quite wideband. A CW ID can be hear part way through.
