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.

- Radio Togo (Sign-on & Sign-off): Circa 1973by T Witherspoon on June 7, 2023 at 12:48
Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recording and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Togo, Lome circa 1973Frequency: 5.047 MHzReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Realistic DX-150A with a long wire antennaNotes: In the early 1970’s, Radio Togo from Lome was often the strongest African signal on the 60 metre shortwave band. They could be heard here best in southern Ontario, Canada around 0530 UTC sign on, or around sign off at 2300 hours UTC, on their longtime frequency of 5047 kHz. Programming was mostly in French and identification could be given differently, such as Radiodiffusion du Togo or Radiodiffusion-Television Togolaise. Here are two recordings circa 1973, one at sign on with interval signal and anthem, the other at sign off.

- RTL Longwave End of Broadcasting: January 1, 2023by Richard Langley on May 26, 2023 at 01:00
RTL longwave antenna array at Beidweiler, Luxembourg Live off-air recording of the last approximately two hours of programming from the RTL longwave station on 1 January 2023 beginning at 22:00 UTC on the frequency of 234 kHz. The signal originated from a transmitter located in Beidweiler, Luxembourg, reported to operate with a power of 375 kW at night (and 750 kW during the day). The transmitter was capable of operating at 1500 kW. The three-mast antenna beamed the signal mostly in the direction of Paris.RTL is a general-interest, news, talk, and music station station owned by the RTL Group with its main studios in Paris. It has an extensive FM network covering France and also uses other broadcasting means such as DAB+ and streaming services.The final two hours of programming was produced and presented by long-time French broadcaster Georges Lang, a devotee of English-language rock, pop, and blues music primarily from the 1960s through the 1980s. The first hour was a special New Year’s version of the “Georges Lang Collection” followed by “Les Nocturnes,” a program Lang has done for fifty years. The transmitter left the air at 00:00:05 UTC.The broadcast was received by the Web-interface wideband software-defined radio at the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands, with a “Mini-Whip” antenna in AM mode with 9.00 kHz RF filtering. Reception was excellent.

- Radio Canada (SWL Digest) Interval Signal Series: Circa 1970sby T Witherspoon on May 17, 2023 at 09:48
Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recordings and notes:Broadcaster: Radio Canada International Interval Signal Series 1970’s Date of recording: Circa 1970s Frequency: 9.625 MHz Reception location: Ancaster, Ontario, Canada Receiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 or Realistic DX-150A and a longwire antenna Notes: Back in the early 1970s, Radio Canada International ran a very popular interval signal series on their SWL Digest program. This was hopefully to help DXer’s identify that sought after station. I recall recording a few of these programs, and while going over one of my old cassette tapes recently, I came across a segment where they were presenting a number of African interval signals. Subsequently, I have uncovered five additional segments, or at least, portions of them. As these were originally recorded with an open mike to the speaker of the receiver, some room noise (voices) may be detected, as well as small amounts of unedited material near the ends of some of the segments. These were recorded at Ancaster, Ontario, Canada, likely on 9625 kHz.
