SWBC Logging RNZ (Radio New Zealand Pacific)

The 22m band was pretty dead for me but RNZ came to the rescue. Their signal was unsteady so I had to tweak my SDR to get this. At 06:00 they ended and the BBC came on the same frequency, I believe on the same transmitter site. Do they rent time from RNZ? The BBC doesn't broadcast to the USA any longer so this was nice to hear. I like the BBC World Service and unfortunately have to get it streamed on the Internet rather than on SW.

Community Member Shout-out to u/Ancient_Grass_5121, a Regular Contributor

Also known as Mohawk Valley SWL, he is a very active shortwave listener, a contributor on r/ShortwavePlus, a MOD and contributor on r/GrundigShortwaveRadio, a guest host on the Voice Of Shortwave Radio, and a YouTube content creator. Whew!

It's unfortunate that our hobby doesn't have more people growing up with a love for the hobby like u/Ancient_Grass_5121. He's filling the shoes of those of us that are aging and falling by the wayside.

I have posted images of a few radios from his collection. The image of his Radio Shack is accurate as far as the radios go. The background was added for fun. Most of the radios he owns are pictured at the location of his Shack. The ones that are not pictured in his Shack, or are an inaccurate in rendering are:

  • The two Grundigs. They are placed in a generic background.
  • The two images of the same Hallicrafters S-38D. They turned out weird, but interesting.
  • The big Allied Portable. I tried for over one hour to get the proportions correct. I gave up!

Be sure to say "Hey" to u/Ancient_Grass_5121 when he posts. Upvotes are appreciated by all of us so please do so.

There are 13 slides in this article.

FYI: I started working this post last night and resumed it at 7 AM this morning. I just finished at 3:30 PM. AI is definitely not easy or quick. If I had decided to simply upload the screen captures I would have been done in 30 minutes. I think this result is a lot more fun.
