Another recording from my archive. In the days when the sunspot cycle was near its highs, the 11-metre shortwave broadcast band was active with many signals. The reception was usually strong and monitoring these signals at the top part of the shortwave frequency spectrum was a joy! I have written an article entitled "Whatever Happened to the 11-Meter Band", about this shortwave broadcast band that officially still exists but which is no longer used by international broadcasters. It reflects on the popularity of this band in its heyday. The article is at [ Ссылка ]
One such station to make use of the 11-metre shortwave band was Radio Nederland. This recording comes from their broadcast on October 29, 1972 with the station signing on at 1100 UTC on 25620 kHz in the Dutch language. Coincidentally, in 1972 Radio Nederland celebrated 25 years of their overseas shortwave service.
The receiver used for monitoring this broadcast was a Lafayette HA230 with a dipole antenna. The video includes a QSL card for another of their services on 25620 kHz.
