Broadcast listener resources

In my first years in the hobby my main focus was on broadcast band listening, especially on the shortwave broadcast bands. Often this was with a humble crystal set.

In the past I have copied right across the planet on a crystal set. These were actual broadcasts from the originating countries and not via relays. Radio Australia was a real challenge.

The thrill of copying broadcast stations from great distances was exciting especially on a crystal set in which the only power is that from the originating station.

It was amazing what could be copied on a very simple regen RX.  Quite a few of us "cut our teeth"  on simple regen receivers.

Some useful links are shown below.
