Many thanks to SWLing Post reader, Terry (VE7TEB) who writes:<\/p>\n

You may have already posted this, but if not here is an excellent Public Radio resource, perhaps worthy of another mention: http:\/\/www.publicradiofan.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Indeed, Terry! Public Radio Fan<\/a>\u00a0is a fantastic resource–especially for SWLs who enjoy listening to public broadcasters who are no longer on shortwave. The site makes it easy to search for broadcasters; it has a very simple and responsive user interface.<\/p>\n

Public Radio Fan\u00a0was created in 2001 and is maintained by its creator,\u00a0Kevin Kelly<\/a>. I don’t know where he finds the time to curate\u00a0this database, but I’m glad he does!<\/p>\n

Definitely worth the mention. Thank you, Terry!<\/p>\n
