Well, I am slowly but surely making progress with my antenna. I have been having a lot of trouble with RF interference from my random wire antenna. I ran a shielded COAX feed to it, which I grounded, but reception was horrible.
Well, this weekend, I …
Well, I have been pretty frustrated for the past week or so, as I have realized that there is just too much RF and electrical interference in my house. It is making shortwave listening difficult. Some of the interference is from my house (electrical …
I have had really good reception tonight, and scanning around I came across a Radio Marti broadcast being jammed by Cuba (I am assuming it is Cuban). First, the details:
Radio Marti :0738 UTC - 0745 UTC, 6030 Khz. SIO 312. Male and Female have a …
As I mentioned the other day, I have been receiving what I believe to be a grayline propagation broadcast of Radio Free Asia (RFA) programming to the Uyghur region of China from Tajikistan every evening around dusk. However, I had not been able to …
I picked up some International Airmail Reply coupons the other day to include with QSL requests. Since these are the new versions, I figured I would post the images here in case anyone was interested.

Well, I finally got around to putting up a new antenna. I had been using about a 40 foot wire that ran out my window and up the hill along the group. I had been picking up a lot of interference, and not really able to pull in that many stations. …
I checked out voiceofkorea.org tonight (the website for the Voice of Korea shortwave broadcast from North Korea), and found the following on their website:

Shortwave reception has been very poor lately, mostly due to a broken streetlight that is causing massive interference with my receiver, so I have really only been able to listen to major stations, and haven’t been able to try to find any far …
Well, after receiving my new receiver Eton E5, I finally decided that this morning would be my first attempt to pick up the Voice of Korea (a broadcast from North Korea). Unfortunately, that meant getting up at 5 AM (1300 UTC), but I didn’t …
Since I started back with my Shortwave my amount of sleep has gone decidedly down. Thus, last night, after a quick nap, I didn’t have too much time to listen to the radio, but did have a chance to pick up a pair of Cuban stations.
Radio Habana …
I received my Eton E5 shortwave receiver today (woot!). I took some pictures of the unboxing, and posted them on my Flickr account.
UPDATE: I moved the images off of Flickr (see below).
Sorry about the quality. It looks like my white balance was off …
I have been trying to find a good template of a QSL Log page, that I could print out to make it easier to keep track of logging the stations that I pick up on shortwave. I know that there are plenty of good computer programs that handle this, but 1) …
I have been playing around with my Shortwave receiver the past couple of days, and have been having fun finding and listening to stations. However, I haven’t been able to get any real strong signals in, except for gospel broadcasts from the …
Before I first went to Europe about 10 years ago, I got my first shortwave radio (a SONY ICF-SW7600). I used it to keep up with the news (mostly BBC), and listen to broadcasts from countries with in Europe. Well, I haven’t really messed around …
