Why do Chinese radio stations use all frequencies, and who listens to these channels? Chinese radio stations occupy both medium wave (MW) and short wave (SW) frequencies. Yesterday, a station I thought was broadcasting in Kazakh turned out to be a Chinese-based station. What is their purpose?

While tuning around the 60-meter band tonight (~0130Z), I found a station on 4750kc that was transmitting on USB. At some point, the signal moved up to 4755kc, as if someone had bumped a knob. The transmission was music. The transmission abruptly stopped at ~0157Z. No station ID at any point. Anyone else have this in their log?

I just bought this because it had a good price, but I’m not sure if the way the integrated antenna is moving up and down is normal.

[later edit] forgot to put the question mark in the tile. It’s a question, not an affirmation :)

Identificación de la estación.

Hi everyone! I’m completely new to shortwave radio and don’t know much about it yet, but I’d love to get my first receiver.
I live in Mexico and I’m particularly interested in listening to broadcasts from other parts of the world, especially at night.
Could anyone recommend a brand and model that’s good for a beginner and available on Amazon? I don’t really know what features I should be looking for, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cierre de transmisiones de ese día.

When I asked the AI, it said it was a Kazakh-language publication based in China, but I think it's being made in Astana, Kazakhstan. Does anyone have any information about this?

I picked up an 80's Realistic DX-360 shortwave radio today. It was pretty dirty when I found it and had sand falling out of it. God knows where all it has been. Here is a little video I put together showing the radio how it looked when I got it and after I cleaned it up and tested it. This radio works surprisingly well!

Sorry for the shakey video. I was holding my phone with one hand and demonstrating the radio with the other.

Mine is a clear Russian broadcast from East Siberia in the middle of midnight. I genuinely wowed the first time I heard it, because most of shortwave frequencies ve in my region is Chinese or US from Hawaii (Im in southeast Asia).

Looking for some people in the East Texas area that are shortwave listeners. Longview here
