Khartoum Khartoum!
From 1996 to 2004 I worked as a physician at a high-security detention center in the Stockholm area. One of my tasks was to assist in deportations of foreign prisoners after they have served prison time. Why the need for a doctor? Well the prisoner could simulate to be sick, make himself sick or be…
How to listen to CW at work!
No one has ever asked me what’s under the surgical towel! The frequency is set on 14.058 kHz. The volume is set very low so I can recognize if there is CW going on or not, but no one else reacts. When the situation allows I increase the volume, without lifting the towel.
My own QSL card
Just the other day did I receive 1000 pc of my own QSL card from LZ1JZ.com, a fellow radio amateur who provides printed QSL cards after your own design. I am very satisfied with the design.
Radio Delta International
The blog title “Radio Memories” suggests that the memories come from time that has past, but this is definitely not the case with Radio Delta, as you will see. When I grew up both the Medium Wave band and the Shortwave bands were crowded with broadcasting stations. There were both the big super strong stations…
Short Update:
After a hiatus of nearly 20 years I had yesterday my first CW QSO with Joe SP6JOE! My call is SM0VPE. Band 20 meter. My power was 5 watts. To be active transmitting on shortwave four factors are important: I. Time II. Space III. Money IV. Support Over the years these factors have varied, and…
Manx Radio, 1368 kHz
Things changes over time. This blog is dedicated to preserve some memories from radio stations that are no more. One station though is unchanged from 1987 when this QSL is from, and it is of course Manx Radio on 1368 kHz! I use to listen to Manx Radio with my radio in my bed besides…
RTL Radio Luxembourg, 1440 kHz
It’s hard, if not impossible, to explain the enormous impact this radio station had for mine, and nearby generations during the 50s to the the beginning of the 90s. Imagine Sweden, for instance, had only one radio channel, but there was Radio Luxembourg that aired the heavyweight championship match in boxing between Ingemar Johansson and…
NRK, Norsk Rikskringkasting, 6015 kHz
Norway may be a small country, but they had a significant footprint both on shortwave and mediumwave. On shortwave they had programming both in Norwegian and English. Much was aimed for all the Norwegian seamen all over the world with greetings from families and friends and with music requests. Nowdays seamen connect over the internet……
YLE Vaasa 1242 kHz
The nearest radio station outside Sweden was Yleisradio’s Swedish language transmitter in Vaasa. I remember one music request show called “Ungdomens gåva i toner” that sounded a bit old fashioned, as the they talked about “The Slade Ensemble”.
