So I bought a shortwave radio. I'm listening to things now.

All local times are UTC -4:00.

Code: Select all

2014/03/09
01:00 to 03:45 on 13630kHz: ABC Radio Australia - Brandon, AU (9350mi.)
12:30 to 14:15 on 17895kHz: Voice of America IBB News - Central Italy (4600mi.)
15:30 on 12050kHz: Radio Free Asia - Agingan Point, Saipan (7800mi.)
15:45 on 13640kHz: All India Radio - Bengaluru, India (8700mi.)
15:50 on 13680kHz: Radio Habana Cuba - Havana, Cuba (896mi.)
15:55 on 15540kHz: Radio Kuwait - Kuwait (6700mi.)
16:15 on 15650kHz: Voice of Greece - Avlis, Greece (5200mi.)
16:20 on 17850kHz: Radio Exterior de Espana - Noblejas, Spain (4000mi.)
All of these except ABC Australia were heard from my back porch. ABC was heard from inside my room.

2014/03/11
14:00 on 9840kHz: Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty - Woofferton, England
14:00 on 15140kHz: Radio Sultanate Oman - Thumrait, Oman
14:00 on 15225kHz: Voice of America IBB News - Greenville, SC, USA
14:00 on 15275kHz: Deutsche Welle - Kigali, Rwanda
14:00 on 15540kHz: Radio Kuwait - Sulaibiyah, Kuwait
14:00 on 15650kHz: Radio Farda - Biblis, Germany
14:00 on 17705kHz: WHRI The Overcomer Ministry - Cypress Creek, SC
14:00 on 17715kHz: Radio Exterior de Espana - Noblejas, Spain
14:00 on 17800kHz: Deutsche Welle - Kigali, Rwanda
14:00 on 21610kHz: Radio Exterior de Espana - Noblejas, Spain
14:00 on 21780kHz: Deutsche Welle - Kigali, Rwanda
This set was unique in that I heard them all from the top of Chimney Rock, NC, pretty much the most remote publicly-accessible area within 50 miles. Very little QRM, and therefore many more stations were heard.
Best $40 I've ever spent.

So you can pick up radio signals from the other side of the world?
That's pretty cool.
