“I see a great You Tube file (it’s in 2 parts) of a WRNO Worldwide broadcast “off air” recording made on Dec 14, 1983.
Ah yes the memories[…] You can hear the very start of a Radio Earth program along with some on channel interference before (until they made the frequency change to 6185 khz) which was common.”

“Due to the numerous requests from his Build-a-radio-in-5-minutes, radio amateur Tommy Helgevold OZ4KID decided to make a better video with explanations on how to make a radio like this
He also decided to beat his old challenge as well…
…so without further ado, I present to you – How to build a radio in less than 1 minute, can you build it?
There’s even a schematic in the end of the video + an animated version of the entire breadboard setup.
Thanks for watching, & enjoy.

Many thanks to Ray Novak for sharing this video from the ABC series Last Man Standing:
I imagine there are pirates out there who would agree with Mike Baxter (a.k.a. Tim Allen). Savor your ham.
In response to Chris’ recording of The Voice of Mongolia from Truk Lagoon, Mark shared his video taken from a train as he passes the Voice of Mongolia’s antenna farm earlier this year. Note the large curtain antennas. The size of the antennas is most apparent near the end of the video when the train turns; you can see the Voice of Mongolia site at a distance:
Thanks for sharing your travels, Mark!
Thanks to Paul Thurst on the blog Engineering Radio, I discovered this excellent video of the engineering staff of ABC (Radio Australia) servicing some of their HF antennas and transmitters. Having visited several shortwave transmission sites myself, I truly appreciate this peek inside Radio Australia.
Do any of you know which Radio Australia site this is? I’m curious if it is Shepparton. Please comment!
Thanks to Marc for passing along this video which takes you inside Radio Havana Cuba:
This video is not only educational, but will certainly put your fear of heights to the test:
