I presume you mean Radio Luxembourg on SW. I have a 7600D (bought on a trip to Hong Kong) and using just the wire antenna that came with the set, strung up in my office, I have managed to hear Radio Luxembourg occasionally on 6090 kHz around 23:00 to 0:00 UT but only with poor to fair signals - and this is on the east coast of Canada (about 100 km from Bay of Fundy). The transmission on 1440 kHz is another matter. I haven't heard that frequency on this side of the Atlantic. ======================================================================== Richard B.
