Sorry I haven't added anything new....


as of late. I'm quite busy looking at other people's sites, listening to them shortwaves (quite obviously), and slavin' away at work. I hope to add some new audio files soon.

On the left side of this page is my little buddy Simon. Looking quite content, eh? Don't worry, he'll turn evil in no time flat, and when you least expect it.

Catch U soon with a new audio file. Until then......

*Beam me up Scotty, no intelligent life here......KIRK OUT!!!!*

Before "Larry King Live" on the TV there was...

"The Larry King Show" on the radio, via the Mutual Radio System. The only reason I recorded it was because I was big on the Beatles at that time. I have no other tapes of this programme. Listen, and you'll get to hear the "king of the softball interview" tossing weak pitches like he does now....just doing it on the radio!! His voice still sounds like a frog suckin' the sewage off the East River.

News programme from Brezhnev era Radio Moscow.

This is a real audio clip of a newscast from Brezhnev era Radio Moscow. It was recorded sometime in 1981. This is truly a "blast from the past" as broadcasts from Moscow have not sounded anything like this recording in years.

DRM shotwave software photo.

Here is a photo of what DRM shortwave software looks like. Get used to it (LOL), as many shortwave broadcasters may only be heard via this mode in the future. For example, the only way to hear Deutsche Welle beamed towards North America is via a DRM transmitter (in Sackville, Canada).

Here is a photo of the W1AAC listening post.

On the top is the Ten-Tec RX-350D, which I have linked into a Toshiba A105 computer. Under that is a Drake R8A receiver. The radio on the bottom is a Kenwood TS-440/AT amateur radio tranceiver. The box on top is a Vectronics active antenna. Also, underneath the screw driver to the side of them is a Kaito KA1102 portable. What's scarier....I have ten or more SW radios I am not currently using!!!

Vatican Radio DRM broadcast, May 28, 2006.

This was recorded from 2319 to 2344 UTC on 9750. It breaks up a bit at the beginning, but is coming in real good, until sign-off. Enjoy the soundfile.
