Christmas QSL from Radio Sweden

This is a Christmas themed QSL I got from Radio Sweden in December of 2005. I liked this one a lot.

Prime Time Shortwave

This week's website is more of a radio guide than anything else. Check it out here.

VOR QSL

Peebles Originals

This week's website (here) is a little different from the others I have put up. Instead of being about a radio station or a website that helps with listening. This is about how to make your own radio. I have not successful put one together myself but i have been toying with the idea. I got a radio kit once and never got to debug it. Maybe it is time to try again. At least check the site out and see if you would like to build yourself a radio instead of just listening. Just one way of taking the hobby to the next level.

Band Sweep

This is not going to much of a band sweep but at least I am getting one out.Below are the station I have heard in the last couple of days.

CFZO or 740 KHZ out of Toronto. In fact , I am listening to it as I am typing up this post. It is still hard for me to get use to the new call letters. I think it will take me a while to quit calling it CHWO.

WAWK out of Kendalville, Indiana. It is on 1140 KHZ and is a daytime only station on the medium wave band.

I finally got to hear WBCQ for the first time in a while. I am glad they are still broadcasting. They have been losing suctomers to buy airtime and between that and the high price of energy, it has been hurting them big time.

I have also been listening to WOWO. I especially like listening to Komet hockey and AM coast to coast. I love listening to the tin hat crowd. I was going to put a link to WOWO's website but it is hanging something awful.

That's the band sweep for this time. Hopefully I will being sweeping the bands a bit more often and making sure I check in.

CHWO has become CFZM

Earlier this year, CHWO became CFZM. So far, their format has stayed close to the same. For that I am glad. Above is the latest QSL and the Ontario DX Association is till doing QSLs for the station. Also something I am glad for.

Mediageek Radioshow

Mediageek describes itself as a weekly half-hour look at important news and issues in grassroots and independent media, along with a critical examination of our media environment I took a listen and it very interesting. Although I do disagree with the political views on this show, I do agree with his viewpoints on issues facing the media. I guess I just can't be in total sink with everyone. Check him out here.

Radio Netherlands

I have not been hearing Radio Netherlands on the radio lately and found out why. They have abandoned the English service to North America. Although I am not the most regular listener, I did like tuning in quite often. I am going to miss listening to them. They still have podcasts I can listen to. Even though this is enjoyable, it is not quit the same as the magic of listening to short wave radio. Other than writing them to ask for it back, I don't know much taht I can do to get the station back.

NHK QSL
