Bruce – there must be something wrong with my radio / antenna / “set-up” – I’m not hearing hardly anything !!
Well – Maybe it is not so much YOUR “set-up” or antenna or radio – Remember folks – just as real estate values are dependent on 3 things more than anything else – Location / Location / Location – – And as I have pointed out several times already SWL ( Short Wave Listening ) is dependent on 3 things more than anything else – Conditions / Conditions / Conditions – your success or lack of it is dependent on propagation conditions more than just about everything else put together – Salty Walt does a real quick and easy explanation . . .
If you are willing to take your time looking for signals – they are out there. Fewer and further between – but – there are some signals out there.
Come on folks – it’s nice weather – add another antenna to the farm – string that random wire you have always wanted – get some batteries and take that portable short wave radio with you fishing tonight – I always liked to drag my GE Super Radio III fishing at night – spend the night listening to the oldies show out of Toronto, Canuckland!
I’ve still got a couple of old GE’s – they sure have great sound . . .
I don’t understand why my Blushing Bride gives me the stink eye every time I give another neglected / unloved / unappreciated radio a new loving home – go figure . . .
Propagation is like the weather – everybody complains about it – but nobody does anything about it – LOL!
