“SWL” Contest 2025

I wrote “SWL” between quotes because this is also an MW contest. You can listen to MW, SW or both.

Having participated in the very enjoyable SWL contest 2024 I am going to focus on MW for this one. Let”s see if I can log 250 stations on MW.

But no matter what you would like to do, on behalf of SWL F14368 Frank I would like to invite you to participate in the SWL Contest 2025. You can find the details by clicking this link! If you think you don’t have a good listening location you can opt to use a Kiwi SDR as well. I do hope to see you in the results!

Diamond Certificate SWL 2024 contest

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.
