Notes:<\/p>\n

?My radio shack has radio from two generations, that is, my father’s tube radio, viz., Murphy TAO 776 MARK II. My father, Mr. P. R. Chandwani, also a Shortwave Listener, purchased Murphy Radio in Summer of 1971.<\/p>\n

\"MURPHY<\/a>I used to see him install wire antenna between to bamboo poles or mesh antenna in our room for shorwave signals. I love this old murphy radio. I carried on further the legacy of radio listening till 2005 and then got my Ham ticket. My radio shack also have state-of-the-art technology radios, like, Kenwood TS-590s and Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium. Overall, it is the love for radio, experience of years & years of listening works out. Even after becoming ham, I still indulge in Shortwave Listening, AM Bands and FM Dxing. It is a lot of fun. My 14 year old son, viz., Chittaranjan too some time takes interest in radio technology.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

I actually have two favorite listening posts, as seen in the following pictures:<\/p>\n

\"20151004_173027\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first you can see the Ben-Gal Duet Stereo, Tube radio with record player. The Ben-Gal covers Shortwave in 3 overlap bands continues from about 2MHz up to about 23MHz, it has an RF stage and it is very sensitive.\u00a0Above are (from left to right): the Sangean ATS909, Tecsun S2000, and Philips 90AL765.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0452\"<\/a>In the second picture is the Ben-Gal Verdi. In contrast to the Duet Stereo, it lacks the RF stage, but 15 meters of wire as an antenna compensate for that. I like to lay down on the sofa, in the dark, spin the dial on this radio while gazing the green light of the EM84 tuning tube.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0410\"<\/a>Notes:<\/p>\n

Main rig at this time is Elecraft KX3, both on-air and SWL. I also still have my Knight Kit Star Roamer I\u00a0built in 1970 to which I added a BFO but it is not in the photo. Ham interests include antennas, building\u00a0and digital modes. SWL interests include WX FAX, utility and military.<\/p>\n

Thanks for a great website.<\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

Here is my Tecsun PL-600. My other toys include UHF-walkie and RTL-SDR, and that’s it for now. I was laying in my mother-in-law’s garden, in evening twilight, and this very friendly stray cat came and jumped on me to listen 20m hams too.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF0023\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dan Robinson sits in front of his “main stack” of \u00a0receivers in his basement shack in Potomac, MD.<\/p>\n

The former VOA correspondent currently runs, from top to bottom, a RFT EKD-515, McKay Dymek DR33-C6,\u00a0JRC NRD-301A, Drake R7A\/RV75, Eddystone 6200,\u00a0JRC NRD-515. Just behind Dan, you find a Drake R8,\u00a0SONY ICF-6800W, and a Kenwood R-2000, while not\u00a0seen behind this veteran DX’er is a NRD-545. Dan notes\u00a0that the receivers shown constitute only about half of his collection.<\/p>\n

\"DSCF0029\"<\/a>In his “back room” he has everything from\u00a0a Panasonic RF-9000 and Grundig Sat 650, to an R-390A\u00a0and JRC NRD-93.<\/p>\n

Francisc Gr\u00fcnberg, YO4PX<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"YO4PX<\/a><\/p>\n

Notes:<\/p>\n

My name is Francisc Gr\u00fcnberg, a radio ham with the call sign YO4PX. I live in Constanta, Romania. More about me and my ham radio activities and publications may be found on my QRZ.com page at https:\/\/www.qrz.com\/db\/yo4px<\/a><\/p>\n

From there you may see that I was a short-wave listener for 17 years because of the discrimination of the former communist authorities, before obtaining my transmitter license in 1980.<\/p>\n

I am a writer, a journalist and a professional certified and sworn translator for 4 languages. I am also my own webmaster at http:\/\/yo4px.blogspot.ro<\/a> where more than 850 articles (translations and own writings) were published in the last 6 years.
\nA picture of me in my shack is attached.<\/p>\n

The gear I am using is presented on my QRZ.com page.
\nMy postal address is also there, but I repeat it:<\/p>\n

Gr\u00fcnberg Francisc
\nConstanta,\u00a0Romania<\/p>\n

Again, many thanks to all who sent in their listening post photos. I absolutely love the variety!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
