LATIN AMERICAN DX SURVEY 2015 - Available for FREE Download


LATIN AMERICAN DX SURVEY 2015

Available for Free Download


I have just finished compiling the 2015 survey of Latin American broadcasters. This list represents those stations that were monitored here at Mount Evelyn, Victoria, Australia. It is not intended as a complete list of all stations operating in South America. The survey covers many domestic South American stations as well as two international broadcasters between March and September this year. 

Also featured in this year's survey is an article I wrote for the August issue of The Spectrum Monitor magazine entitled "Radio Verdad - Small Signal, Big Heart", which focuses on this very unique Guatemalan broadcaster.

DXers and shortwave listeners living in the northern hemisphere are now approaching their winter season, so this survey may be of interest and use to you. In previous years, there have been more than 2000 downloads of this document, so it appears to be very popular amongst MEDXR readers!

This free survey is a 16-page PDF document, approx 11 mb, and can be downloaded at:

Latin American Survey 2015

I hope you find this resource helpful. It was certainly fun putting it all together! Any feedback is always appreciated.

73 and good DX to you all.

    Great survey as always and an excellent resource/tool for anyone wishing to get their feet wet of what's left from LA on shortwave. One thing worth noting. R Verdad has been a useful 10 meter beacon with their 7th harmonic on 28385 kHz the past few years. Good DX OM and thanks again!

RETRO RECEIVER REVIEW # 21 - The Kenwood R-5000

RETRO RECEIVER REVIEW #21 (You can click on all photos in this article for a close-up view) KENWOOD R-5000 Performance and Innovation by ROB WAGNER VK3BVW This extended blog post first appeared as a feature article in the February 2024 issue of The Spectrum Monitor magazine. Further details on this excellent publication are available at www.thespectrummonitor.com I have always wanted to own a Kenwood R-5000 receiver. Perhaps I was dazzled by the mystique that appeared to surround this rig. Somehow, it had always been on top of my bucket list of pre-loved rigs that I wanted sitting on the desk of the radio shack.  Finally, one showed up at a local Sunday morning Hamfest, and I happened to have just enough dollars in my pocket to make a purchase. It appeared to have lived a hard life. The case looked knocked around and was pretty dirty inside and out. So, while I would have liked to have owned a unit in better condition, the price was right, and I decided to take it on as a l...

For further information, details and specifications then please visit: www.wellbrook.uk.com Background I have been a keen shortwave listener since 1970 and have had many receivers and antenna types during this time.

RETRO RECEIVER REVIEW #20 - The SONY ICF-5900W

RETRO RECEIVER REVIEW #20 SONY ICF-5900W by CRAIG SEAGER VK2HBT This time around, I thought we might direct our attention to one of the many portable receivers of yesteryear, and it is perhaps appropriate that we choose a manufacturer that continued to produce quality equipment featuring shortwave coverage until long after. I’m sure our Japanese friends will concur with the submission that Japan is a land of short-lived, but enthusiastically embraced fads.  Whether it be karaoke, yo-yos with brains, electronics pets or Pokémon, each craze sweeps the country in such a way that captures the attention of the rest of the world and is usually associated with some pretty smart home-grown technology.   In the mid to late 1970s, shortwave listening (or “BCL”) was the flavour of the month, with teenagers (and some older folk!) compiling large QSL collections and forming SWL and DX clubs all over the country.  Nowadays, you’d be fairly hard-pressed to find any external broadcas...
