Any interest in a HF broadcast Wiki?

[ka3jjz]

You may not know this, but there's a great many broadcast stations - some regional and low powered, others super powered such as the VoA, R Nederland and so on - which has attracted a hobby all its own. This is a wonderful way for folks to learn about other cultures, and for those who are language students, an equally wonderful way to hear a spoken language by a native speaker.

There are several clubs that are devoted to this side of the hobby, as well as some organizations that are strictly devoted to hearing the much harder to hear low powered stations (many of which are transmitting in languages other than English).

I have numerous links for this, and am willing to construct a Wiki for it - but only if there's any interest. No interest, no Wiki. So how about it? 73s Mike

I'd say, please do.

While this isn't an area in which I'm particularly interested in at this time, I'd certainly appreciate having the info readily available.

And making it easy to find a lot of info in one place may well help get some more folks interested.

Astounding. Most Americans don't know enough about their OWN culture...

Wiki would be nice. I am into HF and would help if you needed it. Maybe one for utility monitoring as well would be nice with links to programs and such.

ka3,

Just created for you:

http://www.radioreference.com/wiki/index.php?title=SWL_Broadcast

All ready to go, and linked to the front under the HF section - I certainly know that there is interest.

And the page has just been built - thanx to Lindsay who put the index listing on the main page. I'll be testing links and adding little stuff here and there in the next few days, but it's up and running.

I need to find some websites that are good basic info on propagation, perhaps one or two on antennas - it's going to take a little digging, but we'll find it. 73s Mike

There's one set up for utility stuff - I've just added several links to it to make it a bit more informative as well as timely given that Katrina is now a Cat 3 storm.
