\"Hertzian<\/a>SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Guy Atkins, writes:<\/p>\n

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<\/em>, and I created it three years ago for a few SDR enthusiasts\/software authors in Finland. I\u2019d like to offer it to your readers too.<\/p>\n

My design was inspired by the SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention<\/a> in Bellingham, Washington, which opened initially as a showcase for antique radios.<\/p>\n

Here is a link to a folder with two sizes of the wallpaper:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/app.box.com\/s\/33qzg7ouo3sztzzbnd36ylytt1cp7u3y\\<\/a><\/p>\n

The two high resolution wallpaper files are 1920 x 1200 and 2560 x 1440 pixels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a fantastic graphic you’ve created, Guy–many thanks for sharing it with us!<\/p>\n

\"KMRE\"<\/a>On a side note, Guy also informed me that the SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention<\/a> also operates a low power FM station, (KMRE<\/a>) that features old time and classic radio shows. You can listen to KMRE online via TuneIn Radio<\/a> or several other sources<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All morning, I’ve been listening to KMRE via my SStran AM transmitter<\/a> though my BC-348-Q<\/a>. Great fun!<\/p>\n

[Update<\/strong>: if you have difficulty downloading the wallpaper via the link above, you can download them directly from the SWLing Post server by clicking here<\/a> and here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
