Shortwave listening and everything radio including reviews, broadcasting, ham radio, field operation, DXing, maker kits, travel, emergency gear, events, and more
I know this will ruffle some feathers, but I’m curious as to how many people actually listen to these broadcasts. I started as an SWL in about 1960 and was a big collector of QSL cards. First licensed as WN2TJE in 1965 when I was in high school and have been a ham since then. The more I operated my own station, the less I listened as a SWL. The only time that changed was during several overseas deployments where it was hard or impossible to operate ham radio. About 30 years ago and the advent of a robust internet, I pretty much abandoned all SWL activities. I’m still an active ham radio operator, but the only “entertainment radio” I listen to now is AM, FM and XM/Sirius – mostly when driving. Judging by my kids and grandkids, who do almost everything on the internet, as well as the demise of many international broadcasters, we may be the last generation of over the air shortwave listeners.
