GPS Clock In Box
Arduino Nano, NEO-6M GPS, and 1602 LCD with I2C 'backpack'. All fit into a cute little wood craft box, with a nearly perfect size glass window in the hinged lid, bought from our local dollar store chain. Runs on USB power, battery or adapter.

198 kHz BBC Radio 4 LW received in Wexford, Ireland (7 Aug 2017)
The 2nd signal received on Longwave was BBC Radio 4 LW on 198 kHz. Amusingly, it was the exciting play-by-play of a game of Cricket.
As these two are essentially examples of 'local' reception, they're not any sort of accomplishment in terms of DXing. But I'm still very happy to finally have a chance to listen to something on Longwave other than beacons and other noises.
252 kHz RTÉ Radio 1 received in Wexford, Ireland (7 Aug 2017)
My lovely wife and I took a well-earned vacation to Dublin, Ireland during 2-9 August 2017.

Of course, I brought along a portable AM/LW/SW/FM radio capable of receiving the Longwave broadcast band. Listening to Longwave in Europe is something I've always wanted to do...
We took a day-trip by train south to Wexford on 7 August 2017, and I had a few moments to try out the radio while sitting in the square, just in front of Wexford Train Station.
The first and strongest signal was local Irish RTE Radio 1 on 252 kHz.
I videoed about a minute of it for posterity.
