SWLing Post readers,
I’m currently helping a BBC reporter who is producing an upcoming program about shortwave radio—and she’s hoping to tap into the incredible collective knowledge and experience of the SWLing Post community.
There are a few specific things she’s still trying to track down:
- Recordings of what was heard when stations like Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, or Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty signed off. In other words, do you have final recordings for any of these broadcasters?
- Audio recordings of a coronal mass ejection (CME) as heard on shortwave. I’ve heard this before–those broadband waves of fading–but I have no recordings.
- Personal experiences of listening to shortwave while living in a closed or restricted country.
If you have recordings, firsthand experiences, or even strong leads, your contribution could help shape this program.
If you’d like to help, please leave a comment on this post–I’ll share your contact details with the producer.
As always, I’m continually amazed by the depth of knowledge and experience within this community—thank you in advance for any help you can offer!
