\"Vimal's<\/a>

Vimal’s favorite radios are the Tecsun PL-390 and the Eton E100. (Photo: Vimal)<\/p><\/div>\n

Please join me in congratulating SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Vimal, for winning our October Shack Photo contest<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vimal notes:<\/p>\n

“I love these radios (see photo above). The Tecsun PL-390<\/a> stereo DSP radio with selectable band width- is able to pull in a slew of shortwave stations in quite clearly (of course a lot depended upon time of day and atmospheric conditions.) I can routinely receive signals from Asia, Australia, South America and Europe which is exciting!<\/p>\n

And another one is my small Eton E100 <\/a>Radio- The highlights of this one is that the stereo through headphones sounds great. Its Informative LCD display includes the frequency and the time while the radio is on (some other radios require a keypress to display the clock). It also features a nice amber backlight for the LCD display. Not to forget the sturdy whip antenna.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Congratulations, Vimal–and many thanks to everyone who shared their photos.<\/p>\n

Vimal’s entry was chosen at random from the 62 SWLs and ham radio operators<\/em> who shared their shack\/listening post photos. What an amazing number of entries!<\/p>\n

I plan to take the many photos and notes we received from readers and turn them into an online photo galley. I’ll post this as soon as I’ve curated and formatted entries.<\/p>\n

If you didn’t win this contest, fear not!<\/strong>\u00a0We’re\u00a0already plotting another simple & fun contest before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Reader Challenge<\/h3>\n

Note, too, that we are still collecting entries for the latest reader challenge:\u00a0Emergency radio and a chance to win a prepper radio package<\/a>!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
