Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/i> contributor, Jim (W4OXB), who writes:<\/p>\n

I have been involved in SWLing and ham radio since the middle 1960s. Mostly listening before I got my ham ticket in 1969. My current call is W4OXB.<\/p>\n

I used to record dx catches on mediumwave and shortwave that I put in my logbook. About 20 years ago, I transferred my recordings from reel-to-reel to digital format.<\/p>\n

My goal is to share the old recordings with other radio enthusiasts and the easiest way I’ve found to do that is YouTube. So, I have been working on this for a few weeks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Excellent, Jim! You\u2019ve got some great recordings in your list already. Thanks for sharing and, Post<\/i> readers, note that Jim also plans to share some of his recordings with the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive<\/a>.
