[NJARC] Short Wave Listening

[Al Klase]

Folks,

SWL has been an important influence in my life all the way back to about 
1958 when I had the first opportunity to play with my Uncle Donald's 
Hallicrafters S-20R.

I recent years I've been bemoaning the demise of short-wave 
broadcasting, but recently I resolved to stop complaining and do some 
listening.

It's not like the old days, when you could tune down the band with a 
Knight Kit Ocean Hopper, and easily hear most of the world, beaming in 
your direction in English.  A quick listen can make you thing that there 
nothing left but religious broadcasters.

There's still SWL'ing to be done here in the 21st Century.  Digital 
receivers are really helpful to get to the desired freq, and memories 
are quite helpful.  And, there are a lot of helpful resources on the Web.

Here are some suggestions.  I'm listening to former pirate radio 
operator, Alan Wiener, who went ligit and operates WBCQ (7490) as I type.

•WWCR - 9350
–Rock 23:30Z
–Brokered time to foreign broadcasters
•WRMI – 9395
