Re: other radio
Well, Guess you could say that I'm a Ham, an SWL AND a "Beaconeer" (chasing longwave Morse Code beacons). In addition I operate my own 10 Meter Ham Beacon 24/7. Been an SWL since around 1953 and didn't get my ham license until 1994 (Morse code kept me from it most of that time). In 1994 I got my "No Code license" and then almost immediately took the code test and got my "Advanced" license (now not available to new licenses). Never bothered to upgrade to the "Extra Class" license.

I wonder how many in the group are ham radio operators or listen to shortwave radio SWL |
