I'm on and off, have a 200ft long wire that runs along my very small property and then up to the roof and wrap around a pvc vent tube. I'd be more animate if there were more content. I do seek out stations on occasion and post a short video on the FB I am affiliated with. I just am not pulled like I used to be to the SW like I used to be. I'm still getting radios , repair, recap, re resistor, do an alignment but it is for myself. I really wish there was more on SW
I agree about trying different radios and antennas for both my long time experiences with Shortwave and Amateur radio, of over 60 years. 😊 73 de Ray W2CH New Hampshire.
That’s pretty much how I listen in. I’ll alternate receivers as a “monitor” unit on one frequency, use another radio for tuning around, SDR assigned to another frequency, etc. Using what I have to it’s fullest extent. 📻
I do this a lot . I have many receivers .... Some of them because of you !! You have a lot to snswer for sir .. Ha ha . For audio my s2000 is best . Different recievers are better for different bands and modes etc . Can't leave my 501 on for too long though , The batteries go flat . I still enjoy using old tube recievers . They have a magic that rnodern sets lack . Aleays enjoy your content .
Well said. One could also purchase very inexpensive shortwave radios, which I've done, and see what you get on one and not the other. I have several radios from different price points and sometimes I'm surprised what I get from a cheap radio compared to a more expensive unit or visa versa.
It is handy to have more than one radio to listen to different frequencies.

Another nice thing with multiple antennas and radios is Diversity which helps with fading signals.
I like to compare the different sensitivity levels of my shortwave radios!

what is a utility signal and how can I listen to them? Thanks
Aero beacons, time signals, weatherfax.......any shortwave radio can pick them up.
Love you and urm8 cat!
This is good advice
