Shortwave gold Part 1. Recordings from the 1980s

[@smcdonald9991]

I was also in Africa but in 1991 and heard of the dissolution of the USSR on my Sony shortwave radio which was my only source of information -- no TV or newspaper. Other news I distinctly remember hearing on my SW radio: the 1977 KLM-PanAm plane accident in the Canary Islands, and the invasion of the Falklands in 1982.

I was 9 years old when Chernobyl happened. I'm from Ireland. A year or two before Chernobyl happened I used to listen to Radio Manx and Radio Merseyside on the AM banD and I used to think that the Isle of Man and Liverpool were these far off places. When I discovered the shortwave band on my dad's radio and started listening to the shortwave stations from Tirana, Moscow, Prague, London, Budapest, Stockholm it was like a whole new world had opened. Occasionally the really weird and wonderful would come through. Radio Turkey, Cairo. Algeria, Greece. I also listed to News reports about chernobyl from stations in central europe.

I had lots of hope for the world on 12/31/1999, but then 9/11 happened and the world slide down the spiral. This isn't the world I grew up in, and I know every generation says something like that, but it's not. There's some good in it, some good people, but God, it's a mess that seems to get worse. I raised my ex step kids to learn all they can, how to fight, how to feel people out, how to survive. But I also taught them how to live, care, and love others. It's too to them to do what they will (they stopped taking to me when their mom moved with them to her new husband) and I hope others start teaching too. I feel you though, man. I feel my time here stopped and I'm just here for whatever reason. But I got my mom to take care of, my cats, end of the day, guess that's all I need.

Nostalgia! I used to listen to a lot of international radio stations. Esperanto broadcasts from Poland and Radio Beijing, radio theater on BBC radio and many more. It was very exciting to catch the radio signals of distant countries. I dreamt about building a Heathkit shortwave radio, but they were too expensive for me (Or rather my parents). When I was around 11-12 (I'm a 1951) I participated in a DX radio competition. I borrowed my grandmother's radio with radio valves. My parents' radio didn't have SW. I only managed to catch Radio Praha though :) I was very proud when I received their QSL card and I still have it somewhere :) Most of this fun has been destroyed by the Internet I assume. Thanks for bringing back old nice memories. /Anders

This is off topic though, but I think it's very presumptuous, to say the very least, that the Chinese, of all nations, use the language of fraternity and justice among all people to spread their twisted, double-standard ideology. Apparently they haven't understood the concept of the interna ideo, or at least they have a very, very different interpretation of it. Anyway, since they're a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual country themselves, they might like to start practicing what they preach. Just my two cents.

Interval signal 11: WWV. Interval signal Interval signal 13: Radio Berlin International. 12 sounds very familiar but can't place it. Belgium, maybe? 14 really isn't an interval signal at all, just time pips at the top of the hour, could be from anywhere.

Thanks for watching

#14 was a clever one. It was HCJB's own top of the hour time pips. HCJB used them at the top of every hour. The program from which this interval signal contest was featured was, of course, "DX Party Line" on HCJB, Quito, Ecuador. Clayton Howard was the original host.

The golden age of shortwave radio was before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

WOW!!! I have to return with a comment on this one. At 10:50 to 10:53 John Beck from HCJB's DXPL refers to my good friend Erich Bergmann and to the (unofficial) Romanian DXers Association (ADXR) to which I also belonged! What memories!

So glad to bring back happy times. Thanks for nice comments. Mike

@Electronics Visions 1960s I was walking along a Arkansas Road where there was High Tension Power Lines on then & The Electricity Spoke to me, to wit: They were captured and forced to Run Back & Forward by Humans. They showed me On Power Poles Yellow Creatures Running Back & Again (Same as Saw Tooth in Oscillator) further more From the Ground in front of me an the Road Electric Ground ""Demons"" popped from the Ground to impress me of the Truth, these were the Earth Ground. Not a Dream, I was Alive, 15 Years old, in Benton, Arkansas, when I often had visions and such.
