Thank you so much for your comment! Like you, I also returned to SWL about three years ago. I was a keen DXer in my teen years, and then drifted away. Now, some decades later, I am back and enjoying every minute!

Love the AI generated images, Andre! I really like this format as it reminds me of Al Jazeera's podcast on TouYube. They use graphics sparingly, probably serving as a screen saver on full screen mode, LOL. 📻☺ The best thing is that, you don't have to upload eleven minutes' worth of live footage of your radios at home, although a closeup of your Sony ICF-J40's translucent green dial pointer at 07:24 was a very nice touch indeed. 😎 Great job, Andre...will be looking forward to RAI Digital broadcasts from now on. 🙏 P.S. Mixing random sounds of shortwave radio propagation fades into your voice stream would be quite interesting to listen to. It's a just a thought I've had in my mind for a while. Simulating how Radio Ifryika FM would sound from your QTH would be a great idea for a podcast about SW radio updates around the world. 🌏👍

Thanks for your comment, glad you liked it! This is something a bit new for me, but I am happy to hear that long-time viewers on my channel like you also like the idea. Thank you also for the suggestion about the random SW fades, nice idea, I will do that sometimes.

@@swlistening My china, you've just leveled up your channel by quite a few notches! 👍🏼👍🏼 Andre, I've already told you that your voice is very suitable for the radio medium. It's a gift that you have.. Embrace it. Some people have a commanding, pleasant and soothing voice that really grabs the listener's attention. I have a rather nasal sounding tone and I don't really like how my voice sounds and I have to live with it. 😐 If you narrated an hour long documentary I will not fall asleep! 😄 Looking forward to your next podcast from Radio Andre International! ☺️📻👏🏼🌍🎙️

Can you make this series available as a bona fide podcast, available on Apple Podcasts or such? Just a suggestion, that would give a wider audience.
@swlisteningАй бұрын
Hi Paul, thank you so much for the suggestion. I haven't actually thought of this, but I will look into it for sure. I know KZfaq now has a podcast tab and they are quite keen to promote podcasts, that is why I used it. But it makes sense to look at other options.

Great idea and thank you for your efforts! It’s good to have a SW channel from your continent, most videos are a view from Europe or North America. Good news on Exterior España. I was recently on holiday in Spain and took the TEF6686. The country is rich in radio listening options, lots of MW and FM stations, there seemed to be red and white masts every few miles. Quite easy to pick up some North African stations from there too. 73 Franco
@swlisteningАй бұрын
Hi Franco, thank you so much for your comment. Very interesting what you say about Spain. It is great that they are still using FM, SW and MW. I have actually caught two Spanish MW signals here in South Africa, it's fun for me to keep trying to catch those.

Hi Andre. Just a shot in the dark here, but are you aware of a relatively cheap/entry level radio, specifically with Air and - available locally? It is for a youngster who is interested in radio & aviation.
@swlisteningАй бұрын
Hi Johan, unfortunately there isn't really anything available locally. I would say the Sihuadon (XHDATA) R-108 is probably the least expensive radio you will find with air band. You can order it from the XHDATA website. I have used them many, many times in the past, it is a reliable site and shipping is quick. Usually about two weeks. Here: xhdata.com.cn/collections/xhdata-hot-selling/products/sihuadon-r-108-fm-sw-mw-lw-airband-dsp-portable-radio-1?variant=43660149195070 Your other option is, of course, the D-808, it is currently on sale for $65 on the XHDATA website. The R-108 is $42.
@johanleroux179Ай бұрын
@@swlistening Thank you Andre. Your guidance is much appreciated. I still love my D-808, but I think the R-108 sounds like a good option.
