\"\"<\/a>A reader, Michael, recently shared a new online resource he created for the shortwave listening community called HQ Shortwave Radio: https:\/\/hqshortwaveradio.com<\/a><\/p>\n

According to Michael, the site lets users enter a frequency and uses AI to help identify what’s currently on the air. It also incorporates current broadcast schedules, propagation information, station listings, maps, and a variety of other tools designed to help listeners explore the bands.<\/p>\n

I’m traveling, so I haven’t had an opportunity to put it through its paces and can’t offer an evaluation. That said, while I’m generally not a fan of AI-generated writing, YouTube videos, or artwork, I do think AI can be a genuinely useful tool for organizing, searching, and presenting complex datasets. This seems like an interesting application of that idea, and I’m curious to hear how well it works in practice.<\/p>\n

If you give it a try, please share your impressions in the comments. I’m sure Michael would appreciate constructive feedback from fellow SWLing Post<\/em> readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
