Dec 5, 2024 The SWL DXing news report

Welcome to episode 18 of my series, The SWL DXing news report. This episode was recorded on 5 December 2024. In this podcast I talk about radio-related news, frequency changes, new stations, closures and anything else that might interest DXers. An RSS feed link is available via Spotify, it is in the video description.

In this week’s episode I talk about the DXing programme Wavescan and where you can find its podcasts now, the new African DX report on Wavescan, South African radio awards, Saint FM from St Helena returning to the airwaves, and there is news about the fate of stations that are currently using the Moosbrun antenna in Austria which is set to close at the end of the year. I also have a reception report from Sebastian in Germany, news about the Tecsun PL-680 and I end with the propagation forecast.

Short wave reception on a Swiss Autophon E-627 military receiver​

Dec 21, 2024

This is a short video of the Autophon E-627 receiver in operation.
Autophon was a small company based in Solothurn, Switzerland, which made wonderful everyday household appliances, such as telephones and radios. They manufactured a number of other electronic devices, for instance a very small radio transmitter for skiers and mountain-goers that would automatically start sending a signal should you be trapped under the snow in the event of an avalanche.
But what we have before us today is something different, and equally wonderful. It is a military receiver model E-627, made in 1951 for the Swiss Army.
It is quite amazing how well it works 73 years later, in December 2024, when I am listening in to the shortwaves in a cold and sunny morning in Madrid, Spain.
