Even when listening to songs, I prefer to shortwave to CD. Most of my friends think I'm nuts when they hear me listening to Beethoven on BBC on 15.310 MHz instead of tuning on 100 MHz stereo. Any suggestions? I know how you feel. I tried to get some of my friends into shortwave, but they just do not understand it. I guess it's because a shortwave radio listener needs to work the radio. It takes a lot of patients to sit there for hours. As for myself I find it very exciting to be able to pick DX stations from 1000's miles away. Also, I like the idea that shortwave radio is a world radio. It belongs to all nations and all people and no one own it. It's kind'na like the internet in that way. If I hear a broadcast in a language that I do not understand, I try to figure out which language it is, from which country it could be coming from, and figure out what type of broadcast it is by listening to the any familiar words. If I hear a religious word then it is probably a religious program (even if it is an another language, If I hear a word from our current news, then it is probably a news program. But their are also programs on culture, music and theater. It is a great hobby in however way you enjoy it. 73 |
