This summer I decided to participate in the SWL 2024 contest. This contest was organized by Franck F0DUW . Aim was to log as many broadcasters in each metre band. I had a slow start as I was very busy in June with Sporadic E receptions, but in July/August I focused a bit. In the end I was able to log 425 broadcasters. This was not only more than enough to qualify for the “Diamond” certificate, but it also makes clear that shortwave isn’t dead!
I plan to give more information about what I heard in a future post, but that will take a little bit of time. Stay tuned!
Thanks to Franck for organizing. On his facebook page he announced that there will be another contest starting January 1st, 2025.
