    I'm now 69 years old. I started SWL DXing at age 11 back in the mid-60s. Then caught the ham radio bug in high school. Once of my plans was to return to some serious SWLing in retirement. Sorry to discover that nothing is more certain than change. Those ionospheric fading signals are music to my ears and fill my heart with joy. 73 . . .

      It's funny, I got my first shortwave radio when I was in 4th grade. A simple AM only from Sears. It was magical to be able to receive stations from all over the world! I spent the first week in my bedroom, staying up late with an earphone, so I didn't bother my brother with whom I shared a bedroom.
      Once my parents learned that I was listening to Moscow and Havana, They were concerned. This was, of course at the height of the Cold war. I was banished to our cold, unfinished basement, my parents thought I wouldn't brave the cold, dark and dank basement. I often donned gloves and a jacket to listen to my beloved shortwave radio!

    I started dxing when I was 10 years old in 1987 my grandfather gave me his old Zenith transoceanic D7000 and I would listen to these interval signals with amazement. They were hauntingly wonderful and they will be in my head for all time as others have expressed its sadly reminds me of a time that is gone forever but the memories are wonderful.

    • @juliegaetos6959
      @juliegaetos6959 5 лет назад +9

      This is the reason why some SW stations shut their service. Some remain in AM frequencies, some shut to sell their spectrums, some shut by the law of the government, and some shut by lack of funds. Only Chinese SW remains in Asia.
      In the Philippines, a Christian organization Far East Broadcasting Company (FEBC) stopped two-thirds of its SW services, leaving DZH-6 (6+ MHz) as the only SW station transmitted by 2 towers in Bocaue, Bulacan and Iba, Zambales. FEBC's National Shortwave Service DZB-2 shut around 80s due to the birth of other stations, such as DYVS-AM in Bacolod, DXAS-AM in Zamboanga City, DXFE-AM in Davao City, etc. Meanwhile, some SW masts were resided in Concepcion, Tarlac as to be broadcasted for the Marine broadcasts of the Philippine Navy (with ownership of Voice of America and Radio Philippines). In Obando, Bulacan, Radio Veritas, a Catholic-based organization owned by the Catholic Media Network and the Philippine Archdioceses across the nation (on behalf of the Archdiocese of Manila, who owns the Catholic Media Network and the one who has its responsibility to take care of Radio Veritas' programming), broadcasts its SW service in a mast that holds DZXL-AM and DZRV-AM. Among these SW stations, others had their SW services reached in the Philippines. Mostly are Chinese, mashing with BBC World Radio and others (relays their signals in Concepcion, Tarlac). I had discovered Radio Taiwan International on 1375 KHz, then additional broadcasts of RTI on 700 KHz. On SW2, BBC World Radio mashed FEBC in 9.33 MHz, then sliding to .39 that RTI evens locked all freqs. Luckily, PBS remains free in 15.00+ MHz.

    Some of the very best times of my life - using my Hammarlund Super Pro on a cold winter night to pull in and identify signals by frequency and language from all over the world. I owned all of the best receivers but the Super Pro outperformed them all. Very sad to hear almost nothing but static now. So thankful for those times but I wish I could share the experience with my grandchildren.

    I consider myself lucky that one day in 1975, I picked up the family portable transistor radio and started twiddling the station knob. A whole new world opened up in front of me. To increase power of reception I stretched out its telescopic antenna and stuck in the heating radiator in my room. The rest is history. My first Hammarlund receiver followed by FRG-7 and finally Japan Radio 515. I have QSLs from countries that have gone exticnt: Rhodesia to name one.

At least I was privileged to have done these things, but they've gone forever, and it's very sad. The price of progress I suppose..........

My ageing brain is still full of BBC World Service (and VOA from Woofferton) station ID's, and interval signals! - Talk about "earworms"! I've tracked down many of them thanks to The Web but have failed miserably to find the old BBC "V's" interval that was still being transmitted long after the War! Can anyone out there point me in the right direction to find it and refresh my memory please?

    Aimee Semple McPherson was the first woman to own a Radio Station and have a Radio License in 1924. Her station was KFSG in Los Angeles, California and the station was housed at the Angelus Temple, the founding church of the Four Square Gospel Church.
    I don't know if it was ever Shortwave but it did air until the station was closed down in 2004 with the Towers of the brightly lit KFSG call letters removed from the top of the Angelus Temple. The church is still one of the largest in Los Angeles and at the time, the neon lit call letters could be seen from many parts of downtown Los Angeles.
    Sister Aimee ran the Station at such high frequencies it drowned out the other radio stations in Los Angeles at the time and as a result helped the FCC to set up standard rules governing the strength of a radio station.

    Brings back DXing memories with a Panasonic SW receiver in the 70s-80s. Seems like every nation around had an English language broadcast. You missed Radio Tirana, though. Those broadcasts were a real hoot.

    Like many here have said, so many memories. Sitting in my parent's basement in the wee hours during the weekend back in the early 80s pulling DX from PNG, Indonesia, Brazil, Tahiti all the while the snow piling up outside on those bitterly cold Minnesota nights. With the headset pressed tightly to my ears, getting just enough audible content through all of the propagation fade-outs, static, QRM from the likes of WYFR or Radio Havana Cuba to put into a reception report that would hopefully result in that elusive QSL from Voice Of Mongolia, SABC domestic broadcasts, or a half a dozen Peruvian stations and so on. Then having to wait weeks and months hoping to see that mailbox stuffed with a package containing that prized QSL and hopefully other goodies like stickers, pennants, etc (the Communist countries really went all out on the propaganda). God only knows what my letter carrier (mailman back then) thought when they put in the mailbox an envelope marked Moscow, Havana or Peking.
    Good times...

      Although I cannot imagine that Radio Vaticana's interval signal was based on a hymn which is sung in some sacred events like Papal inagurations. If I may recall, "Christus Vincit" is the title of that melody.

    Hi,
    I also searched in the mid 80s on my short wave radio for new stations.
    There was a strain what did only send numbers in German.
    I remember the woman always said FÜNEF instead of FÜNF.
    Sadly,DEUTSCHE WELLE stored airing in German but caring on in SWAHILY.
    Very annoying!
    Today I am happy to listen sometimes to BBC AFRICAN SERVICES when u am in Botswana in the road to EswatinI from Namibia.
    Thanks for the memories!
