The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive

The Radio Heritage Foundation is pleased to provide a mirror of this fascinating audio archive site.

The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive is a podcast that contains off-air recordings from the shortwaves. These recordings represent the wide variety of stations found on the shortwave, long wave and medium wave radio spectrums (30-30,000 kHz)

We are providing this mirror as a backup service. There are much better descriptions of the recordings in the Archive itself at https://shortwavearchive.com/ and we encourage you to visit and contribute there.

  • Xing Xing Guangbo Diantai (Star Star Broadcasting Station): March 16, 2026
    by T Witherspoon on June 18, 2026 at 12:37

    Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Xing Xing Guangbo Diantai (Star Star Broadcasting Station)Date of recording: March 16, 2026Starting time: 2358Frequency: 19.052Your location: ThailandYour receiver and antenna: Kiwi SDR with Wellbrook loopMode: Single Side BandSafe for children?: YesNotes: This is a “numbers station” broadcasting in Mandarin Chinese, presumably sending encrypted messages to Taiwanese intelligence agents in mainland China, from Taiwan. It appears to follow a set daily schedule, and begins each transmission with the tune of a Chinese folk song played on a flute. This is followed by station ID, given twice, and a few announcements in Mandarin, then a sequence of numbers read in groups of four. An excellent article about this station can be found on the Mount Evelyn DX Report written by Rob Wagner VK3BVW in May 2025.

  • Israel Broadcasting Authority, Jerusalem: Circa 1971
    by T Witherspoon on May 28, 2026 at 12:13

    Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Israel Broadcasting Authority, Jerusalem 1971Date of recording: Circa 1971Starting time: 2130 UTCFrequency: 9.625 MHzReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antennaMode: AMNotes: The Israel Broadcasting Authority used to broadcast in various languages on shortwave in the early 1970’s. Their English language transmission to Europe could often be heard well here in southern Ontario, Canada between 2045 and 2130 hours UTC on 9625 kHz. Here is a recording made circa 1971 as they concluded their program in English and switched to French at 2130 hours UTC. Israel Broadcasting Authority, Jerusalem: Circa 1971 Dan Greenall Download The second recording is also circa 1971. It begins with their interval signal, then sign on announcement in English.

  • Rádio Nacional da Amazônia: July 16, 2025
    by T Witherspoon on May 21, 2026 at 12:09

    Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Liam Spencer, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Nacional da AmazoniaDate of recording: July 16, 2025Starting time: 00:05 UTCFrequency: 11.780 MHzReception location: Berthoud, Colorado, USAReceiver and antenna: Sihuadon D-808 with telescopic antennaMode: AMNotes: Here’s a recording pulled from my radio archive of Radio Nacional da Amazonia from Brazil on the shortwave frequency on 11.780 MHz from July 16th, 2025. What’s interesting is that this was recorded on a weekday, and usually, back-to-back music is not heard on weekday evening programming. Along with the announcers who are usually high energy are not in this recording. Around 20 minutes in, I stopped recording and resumed recording at 01:05 UTC until the end of the recording.
