I’m writing to let you know of a “nostalgia radio” Windows wallpaper graphic I’ve made available to radio hobbyists. This design is called Hertzian Vision, and I created it three years ago for a few SDR enthusiasts/software authors in Finland. I’d like to offer it to your readers too.
My design was inspired by the SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention in Bellingham, Washington, which opened initially as a showcase for antique radios.
Here is a link to a folder with two sizes of the wallpaper:

The two high resolution wallpaper files are 1920 x 1200 and 2560 x 1440 pixels.
This is a fantastic graphic you’ve created, Guy–many thanks for sharing it with us!
On a side note, Guy also informed me that the SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention also operates a low power FM station, (KMRE) that features old time and classic radio shows. You can listen to KMRE online via TuneIn Radio or several other sources.
All morning, I’ve been listening to KMRE via my SStran AM transmitter though my BC-348-Q. Great fun!
[Update: if you have difficulty downloading the wallpaper via the link above, you can download them directly from the SWLing Post server by clicking here and here.]
Actually Thomas, it looks like your first mirrored link is the much smaller header image for the posting, rather than the 2560 X 1440 graphic. The second mirrored link is the correct 1920 X 1200 size.
Okay, I’m not sure how I managed that, but I think I’ve fixed it now! 🙂
Thanks, Guy.
That’s odd about the download issues. Today I’ve reached the folder successfully as an anonymous user from the original link, from two different computers and two browsers. However, thanks Thomas for mirroring the files on your own server.

When I click the link it says shared folder has been removed.
I’m still not having difficulty downloading them.
To help, I just uploaded the graphics directly to the SWLing Post server. I amended the post (at the bottom) with links to both files.
Best,
Thomas
Hello Guy,
A lovely poster, and very nostalgic!
But I am getting a 404 message when I click the link,
Do I need to register or something?
Best regards
Lawrence
Hi, Lawrence,
I just checked the link and it seems to work. Try this one again–cross your fingers!:
