Volunteer to help the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive?

Hi, Group! I thought I'd check in here first: I am looking for a few people to help out with the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive: http://shortwavearchive.com We have numerous contributors to the archive, but very few people who actually upload the files to the archive, index them, and create/schedule ...

Re: What's the best-looking shortwave tabletop receiver?

This is a most difficult question to answer because I have favorites in various genres of receivers (portable, analog, digital, commercial, etc.). That said, I remember spotting this 1954 16 tube French-made AME receiver at the 2019 Hamvention. Spotting this made my heart skip a beat. Seeing the pri...

Re: Thanks Thomas and the Team for the new MSG Board.

Thanks to all of you for joining the new board! It's funny...as Elephantcage mentioned above, I'm also not on Facebook and many of the other social media platforms anymore (Twitter being the exception for now). I miss out on a lot of radio conversations aside from messages I get from readers. I'm en...

Re: [Test Post] Holy Grail Last Dodo BNC Antenna Switch

Hi, Andrew, Good suggestions. So since the topics of QRP and SWLing are fairly different, I decided that having separate discussions made sense in that it would be easier for users to control their new post notifications. Plus, it was great to finally put QRPer.NET and SWLing.NET to use! :) Ha ha! T...

Re: [Test Post] Holy Grail Last Dodo BNC Antenna Switch

And that antenna switch? That thing is INSANE! What a find indeed.

I may re-post this as an article on the SWLing Post. I'd love to learn if there are other BNC switch alternatives out there.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi, 13DKA!

So the reply with a link is being allowed because you're already a moderator, so I think it bypassed that rule.

Re: USAF HF-GCS transmission 15.016Mhz

I love these sorts of transmissions. They remind us that shortwave is still an important communications line for militaries, governments, and agencies across the globe. When listening to them, I feel like I'm privy to secret intel. Of course I'm not, but it appeals to my inner young SWL self. :) Tha...
