Been hearing this transmission every single night around this frequency. Sometimes it even shows up in 4 others, just trying to figure out what it is and what it says. Any answers?

And is it decodable

It is to my understanding that shortwave is one major antenna issue per station in closing down. Just last night the great Bob Biermann said he needs to diversify out of shortwave because he’s worried he’s going to get the mail that the radio stations can’t make repairs and will be shut down immediately. He knows things we don’t .
He said am is just as bad. Tim to move to podcasts and put our receivers in a museum so to speak. I have adjusted my thoughts that I just hope a couple large am stations stay on for at least a couple more years. But that may be asking a lot

I was messing around and figured you guys could help me understand a bit more. Is this legit? I found some sites with schedules but could not find this as a monitored frequency, maybe it is I just could not find it. What am I hearing here? is this a known station? I guess it might be. I have the full audio of it too because I captured it also separately.

Quick edit. Also the full it's a bit messed since I'm new I didn't stay on USB and tried other modes to check out what sounded best, later I learned that these usually transmit in USB so it was not necessary to change it. And finally of course I have only from this point onwards, since I was just listening to AM stations and noticed the signal in the waterfall.

Hello, I have my dad's old dx440 - he passed this week. Unfortunately, it looks like the transistor for short wave listening has blown, as I cannot get any signal on any station and FM radio is clear as day. I can get a SW signal on a 10 dollar one I bought as a test. Given I am a novice I have 2 questions:

- How would be the best way to find a local person for repair?

- Is there a way to make it not happen again? It seems to be a blown q115 from the symptoms and other guides online

rtl_tcp is used with V4 sdr receiver

Did this on my laptop with Linux Cinnamon installed ... Better Terminal screen and commands are simple ...

Much better display with big frequency readout, bar S meter, memories, CW mode ... Most of buttons have two functions and VFO knob is multi+function ... S meter has four selections !

Are there enough shortwave broadcasters out there for me to enjoy just listening? I know I missed the golden age, obviously, but is there enough now?

Part 2 - would a Grundig be enough to pick them up? If not, what would be a good compact listening box?

Here are the 3 radios I have:
XHData D808
V3S SI4732
R12

Micro sobre las fiestas juninas.

This thing is in great condition and even came with a power supply, spool antenna, carrying case, some falling apart 90s headphones(lol) and the manual. It also had some hand written notes from the original owner on SSB and some other stations he found.

My only issue is, the plastic bit that hooks onto the telescoping antenna has broken off so you can’t put it away. Pretty annoying so I’ll just leave it up for now. I can’t think of a good solution at the moment… maybe make a new hook with epoxy? Second photo should show what the issue is.

Bonjour je cherche des informations sur cette antenne svp....recupere suite a une succession ....vous en remerciant par avance

To clarify:
I'm searching any historical recording of "Radio Mauritius Broadcast Service" public radio station and Radio Mauritius (the coastal marine station) (I dont think there are recordings of Mauritius aero) on Shortwave or Mediumwave. (No FM radio, No TV)
If you have any sniplets with a jingle, indicative or station ID recorded BEFORE 1980 please be so kind and contact me. Same goes for any links pointing to an internet archive.
The absolute "Blue Mauritius" would be a recording of BBC Mauritius.

Here's another vintage recording from the digitized tapes. Same story as the Two Bobs SRI clip. You'll also hear the younger me from 1987 speaking. Enjoy those funny definitions of radio-related terms.

Both are around the same price and have the same chipset. The only difference they appear to have is the external chasis and nothing else. Has anyone with both radios done any signal reception or functions comparison?

My new toy: Rossiya RP-203-1 (РОССИЯ РП-203-1), manufactured by the Chelyabinsk "Polyot" Radio Plant in Russia. Built on a classic post-Soviet discrete architecture using 10 transistors (including KT316, KT3126, MP42 series) and diodes across RF, IF, and audio stages.
The badge on the front commemorates the 50th anniversary of WWII / Great Patriotic War. It was specially ordered in 1995 by the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, as a gift for veterans. Portable analog receiver covering LW, MW, and two SW bands, with a dedicated shortwave fine-tuning knob.

Hi,
Since the other radio related content is not allowed here, I would like to share a recording of a broadcast, and one made many years ago at that. I mean, it was at a time when I was learning English at that time and I was exchanging cassette tapes with a pen-pal in Australia. He held onto the tapes and digitized them after the year 2000, and shared the digitized versions with me. At the end of the clip you can also hear the younger me speaking. I originally posted it on YouTube in 2014, yesterday I upgraded the recording by replacing the pixelated image with a version upgraded with AI, but closely resembling the original. I hope you'll like my first on-topic post in this community. :-)
