My experiences and results by listening to the long-, middle- and short wave band.
I could hear ‘CBEF Ici Radio-Canada Premiere’ on 1550 kHz. The transmitter (10 kw) is located in Windsor Ontario in Canada. I wrote my reception report in the French language and received a friendly letter back in English as reception confirmation. A short recording (with the identification), during my observation, can be heard at this link: CBEF Ici Radio Canada – Première, Windsor, Ontario, Canada – 1550 kHz.mp3.
Hoping to log one of the 3 Italian stations active on 1584 kHz, I could surprisingly hear Radio Vocea Spirantei from Romania on that frequency on 8 March 2024 with clear identification. Click on the link for a video recording from my Perseus SDR: Radio Vocea Spirantei, ROM 1584 kHz.mp4. Nice in this recording is that at second 20 you also hear the identification of the other Romanian station: ‘ALT FM’.
My report of Radio Vocea Spirantei was confirmed with a detailed QSL!
Radio Igloo from Sweden may be a station that mostly puts its programmes on air via pirate stations. Nevertheless, they always do their best to broadcast an interesting programme. On Saturday 2 March, the broadcast was about Swedish celebrities in past years. A short video recording from the broadcast on my Perseus SDR can be seen at this link: Radio Igloo.mp4.
And importantly! …There was also a nice matching QSL!
I received a nice detailled e-QSL and a personal email of the very first test broadcast of the new Finnish legal shortwave station “RealMix Radio”. The transmitter has 15 W carrier power, 60 W PEP and could be heard in the 49 m band on 6185 kHz. Click on the link for a YouTube video of my receiver during the broadcast: https://youtu.be/3EnU3R1NuNo.
A few days ago I received a paper QSL from Adventist World Radio for a DRM test broadcast on shortwave. The broadcast took place via WINB in Pennsylvania, USA. It wouldn’t be special if it weren’t for the fact that the broadcast took place about 5.5 years ago.
The DX hobby continues to provide surprises!
I was able to receive Tianjin Coastal Radio Station with a DSC test message on 8414.5 kHz. It is always nice to receive something like this in the mail box and to be able to read the words: “We confirm……”!
I received a reception confirmation from Radio Banana, which operates from Casalgrande, Italy on 1404 kHz! The power is 200 watts! With the KAZ antenna pointed south it can sometimes be heard clearly. Click on the link for a recording: Radio Banana, Casalgrande, RE, Italy 1404 kHz.mp3.
February 13 is ‘World Radio Day’, declared by UNESCO / United Nations. On this day, events are organized worldwide by broadcasters and radio associations to emphasize the importance of free and independent radio. Freedom of expression and free access to information are central to ‘World Radio Day’.
On February 13, 1946, United Nations radio began broadcasting from its headquarters in New York.
I got a QSL (+ a lot of interesting information!) by post from the Greenland coast station ‘Aasiaat Radio’ for a DSC broadcast on 2187.5 kHz!
I got a QSL of the new Dutch LPAM station Radio Hercules/Radio Zanussi on 819 kHz. One transmitter, 2 stations! An initiative of 2 brothers! Johan broadcasts on Saturdays under the name ‘Radio Hercules’. Andre has his programs on Sundays under the name ‘Radio Zanussi’!
