[NJARC] Short Wave Listening

[TrainBee]

Hi Al,


    Thanks for bringing this up.  I found WRMI last year when tuning around on my Zenith TO.  They have an assortment of programming.  The Rock programming is generally on in the evenings from Friday to Sunday.   A few weeks ago they went dark for a few days.  If you don't hear them from time to time, keep trying.  They have a pretty good website and are always looking for QSL reports.


    I'm sure you know this, and have done it, but one of the things that can be fun for everyone is to send a QSL (Reception Report) to the station you are listening to.  WRMI prefers that you do this on their website, but you could send them a card to see what you get back.  


    A thought on that is a Club QSL card from the listening station at InfoAge.



Regards,
Joe Devonshire    AB1YO

    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.
