In 1982 I made recordings of how it is during a "sunspot max" time, using a Realistic DX-302 near Atlanta Georgia USA. An introduction to shortwave starts here: • My Introduction to Sho... More 1982 clips are here: • Shortwave clips from 1...

did you expect to play these again 40 years later when you recorded them?

Yay! More shortwave stuff! I love shortwave radio!

2:01 ORF Austria and BRT Belgium colliding on 21525. At that time BRT had their new tuning signal from the start of '82 (Glenn Hauser said then: "I'll miss the old drummy IS that could go on forever").

How are you doing up there Evan? Thanks for sprucing up a boring Friday. I remember listening to radio prague and bbc world svc on short wave. Thanks for the video.

From now on, when I need to cry, I'll listen to the first minute of this tape... I used to spend hours and hours on these things like I did with the weird world of telephone. When I was in England studying, I had a big stereo which I brought from Cyprus, and it had fm, am, short and long waves. That radio was made in the early 90s. My dad had a radio alarm clock only with fm and am early 80s, but I remember clearly turning endlessly the tuner nob listening. We lived in Saudi Arabia and then in Greece, and many of those signals are familiar. I have to search for an old radio in the market to see if such stations still exist. I have a great amount of stuff I need to research. Internet most of the time answers my questions, but I have many more... For example, why these kind of radio signals were repetitive? Also this sadness was extremely common in the signals I was receiving. Radio Vatican, some other radios from Eastern Europe, etc etc...

I think the repetition was just to make sure listeners were tuned up ready for the transmission at the specified time. Shortwave was rarely interference free and so the repetition was also useful for checking you really were on the right frequency if there was a lot of atmospheric interference or like in the case of the Radio Austria signal, interference from another station. I used to send off for printed schedules and stations would usually be on two or three frequencies, and if there was bad QRM or low strength on one frequency, the repetition would allow you to shoot up or down the band to try another one - recognising the melody was part of the hand/ear co-ordination that you needed back before digital readouts! I think the melancholy in some of the melodies was just part of the national character of each country. The melodies were often based on the anthem or a very well known "signature" type tune for the country, and of course there are no rules in melodies or music that mean one cluster of notes is universally happy and another is sad.

Hi Eleni! (Are you the Eleni I know from Soundcloud with the great voice?) It occurred to me that it might cheer you up to hear my first program on how I got interested in Shortwave; It starts with electronic beeps but it then introduces the repeating musical phrases in a way that I think is positive and gets across the intrigue we felt hearing those far away signals fading in and out. It's here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HLHsndjIg8s.html There's just something about the sound of a station signing on that appeals to many of us. Some of us see it as a kind of art, as is demonstrated here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-miA6zCpopOI.html

AFRTS 21570, that was from Delano CA to East Asia and the Pacific

@RJDA.Dakota 2 года назад

This is tremendous! I have a few cassette tapes and CDs that I have made from recordings of stations that I made back in the 1970s and 1980s. I would like to share them on You Tube. How do you do this?

Re the IS with African drums, it was NOT Spain but it is RTBF Belgium in French for Central Africa

aweAwesome stuff! :)

You can not get that same clear signal these days. Now every band is full with RFI and man made noise.

@RJDA.Dakota 2 года назад

Go to a park or forest away from residential areas. Once away from that your signal level will go up. Add a length of wire to the whip antenna if you have to. Some portable SW radios have a plug for an antenna.
