My SWL Logbook

I started listening to MW and SW broadcast radio stations in the mid 70's. Unfortunately my receiving logs and many qsl cards were lost whilst moving house on several occasions. Because of this the list below represents only a small section of the original logs.

Grundig Satellite 2000

Most of the SW broadcast radio stations were received on a Grundig Satellite 2000 receiver with a long wire antenna tuned with an ATU.
60 and 75metres tropical bands were my favourite SW broadcast bands with signals from South America and Africa. My favourites being Radio Lara and Radio Barquisimeto both from Venezuela.

MW/LW

WINS - New York City USA

CFBC - Saint John NB Canada

Most of the radio stations were received on a Grundig Satellite 2000 receiver with a 4 foot square loop antenna.

My favourite dx was listening to transatlantic broadcasts. I Spent many a late winter's night waiting for strong European stations to close allowing stateside stations to roll in. WINS in New York on 1010khz (50kW) was normally the first to come in followed by CFBC 930khz and CHUM 1050khz and a host of others.
