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.

    Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following recordings and notes:Broadcaster: Voice of America Okinawa Rhodes Philippines Greenville Woofferton 1970’sDate of recordings: variousFrequency: variousReception location: Ancaster, Ontario, CanadaReceiver and antenna: Hallicrafters S-52 using a longwire antennaNotes: In the 1970’s, Voice of America relay transmitter sites often gave their location between programs. Some VOA programs were relayed via the BBC site at Woofferton, England (audio from 1971). Reception of Rhodes in the 41 metre band was not easy here in Ontario, Canada as evidenced by that recording. The transmitter at Greenville, North Carolina was their largest operation. That recording is circa 1973. The Okinawa relay was heard on 7165 kHz, and Philippines relay 15185 kHz, both recorded in 1971. The Yankee Doodle tune was played during most of these interludes.
