\"Crosley-Dial-BlackAndWhite\"<\/a>Photographer, Lewis Bush<\/a>, is seeking ham radio stations and shortwave listening posts in the London, England area. Lewis writes to the SWLing Post<\/em>:<\/p>\n

I’m working on a project which involves trying to locate and map possible broadcast sites for numbers stations (confirmed, suspected, and some highly unlikely) for an eventual book on the subject. These satellite maps (22 in total) are going to be displayed alongside spectrograms of an assortment of shortwave broadcasts and noise, but the final element of the project which I’d really like to include are photographs of ham shacks and shortwave radios themselves.<\/p>\n

These photographs would be without people in them and could be as anonymised as the owners like. It’s also not important to me whether the owners are themselves interested in numbers stations. The main thing I’m interested in is really the equipment and the spaces that people listen from.<\/p>\n

You can read a little more about the project and see some sample images here: http:\/\/www.lewisbush.com\/category\/numbers-in-the-dark\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
