Hi,

 

Anyone here who is into shortwave radio listening?

 

It is really quite a niche radio hobby as there are many internet radio stations to listen to.

But for those of us who are shortwave listeners, nothing beats listening to the static and fading signals that you get on shortwave.

 

English shortwave radio broadcasts that can be received in S'pore include China Radio International, All India Radio, Radio Australia, Radio New Zealand International, Radio Bangladesh, KBS (Korea) Radio, All India Radio, Voice of Vietnam, Voice of America, BBC, Radio Philipinas, Adventist World Radio, Radio Taiwan, NHK Radio Japan, Radio Thailand and many others.

 

A good website for further info is: http://www.swling.com/

 

Regards.

used to listen to it in the 70's/80's and was the only affordable form of entertainment blaring away during balmy hot afternoons in Army @ about $8/- for a so called transistor radio;  In fact I made a simple one back in school during science project.... now cannot even remember the parts even!! like resistors, capacitors, transistors and what not......

wow! radioshack! dont even know whether taobao have or not

 

Situation now is different from 70s/80s where DIY radio were quite common.

 

Nowadays, many cheap shortwave radios (< S$60) available from China / Taiwan.

Examples: Tecsun, Degen, Kchibo and Sangean.

 

So no need to buy expensive radios from SONY and Grundig.

Hi,

 

Came across this shortwave radio kit from UK:

Looks interesting, especially to those of you who are into soldering and electronics.

It even has an antique radio look to it!
