Indeed! \u00a0I have stumbled across ShortwaveRadio.ch<\/a> many times before doing research\u00a0and meant to mention it here on the SWLing Post.<\/em> Thank you for the reminder!<\/p>\n

What’s so impressive about this site is that it’s in both German and English.<\/p>\n

If I ever make it to the excellent\u00a0Friedrichshafen ham radio convention<\/a>, I’ll have ShortwaveRadio.ch<\/a> bookmarked on my smartphone to help me ID all of those amazing European boat anchors\u00a0in the flea market!<\/p>\n
