1998 VOA QSL
NEW Catches (MP3s) From my DX440 and G5RV
I have a real simple SWL setup-- DX-440 and Sangean 909 portable radios and a G5RV wire antenna. It took me almost 10 years but I earned the NASWA award for confirming over 100 different shortwave broadcast countries. Not bad for an EL Cheapo shack!
These files haven't been processed at all--the tape recorder goes right into my sound card & I convert the file. So they only sound
as good as they did coming into my antenna. :)
Note: I'm taking a break from the hobby to work on my MFA in Poetry.
