With the world market filled with good cheap shortwave receivers,
any ideas how to persuade good content to expand or start? Some
one-off like Radio Nikkei thing perhaps?

Listening to Radio Australia on 12065 Khz at the moment (1510),
good signal: 45444. Antenna: indoor 25 foot loop, receiver:
Tecsun PL-660.




Some of the things I'm doing, with recordings:

1) Sometimes transmitting and often listening to those who are
experimenting with high quality audio on SSB (called eSSB for
Enhanced Single Sideband). Examples:

http://liberty.3950.net/WB4AIO%20as%...%20sunrise.mp3

http://liberty.3950.net/K2WS-K4UU-NU...%20Hz%20bw.mp3


2) Experimenting with AM mode on the amateur bands. Examples:

http://liberty.3950.net/WA1HLR%20W4B...3885%20kHz.mp3


3) Discussing current events and ideas on amateur radio's Liberty
Net and Survival Net:

4) Listening to DRM broadcasts -- including the BBC, Nigeria,
Romania, and others. Haven't made any recordings, though.


5) A fair amount of plain old HF broadcast listening, including
Havana, Germany, RAE, Vatican Radio, and many others, plus the
occasional pirate.


6) I don't know that this counts since it's not shortwave, but I've
also been exploring longwave with my Racal; hearing many DGPS
navigation stations, non-directional beacons, mystery signals, WWVB
on 60 kHz, teletype from Puerto Rico on 40.8 kHz, and from Maine on
24 kHz.


73 and all the best,


Kevin, WB4AIO.
