Clement 2nd Gear March 10, 2016 Share March 10, 2016 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. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement 2nd Gear March 14, 2016 Author Share March 14, 2016 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
