New Klingenfuss products for 2027

New Klingenfuss products for 2027

Dear friends,

after an exceptionally strong solar cycle peak, propagation
conditions are still very good, allowing excellent reception
of e.g. HFDL stations on 21 MHz - see our hotfrequencies
webpage updated daily. What's more, we've monitored
hundreds of new military frequencies ...

We're now working on our new products

- 2027/2028 Guide to Utility Radio Stations
- 2027 Shortwave Frequency Guide
- 2027 Super Frequency List on CD
- 2027 Frequency Database for the Perseus SDR

to be published on 10 December 2026.

Full-resolution title page graphics can be found at
www.klingenfuss.org/g_2027.gif and
www.klingenfuss.org/g_2027.pdf
www.klingenfuss.org/r_2027.jpg and
www.klingenfuss.org/r_2027.pdf
www.klingenfuss.org/s_2027.gif and
www.klingenfuss.org/s_2027.pdf

Just for the record, these are not stupid compilations by
"Artificial Intelligence", but the results of daily (and
"nightly" ...) real radio monitoring and decoding.

If you are able to supply additional new frequencies and
stations, your cooperation would be highly appreciated.
Please let us have your data by 20 October 2026.

The continuously updated product Digital Data Decoder
Screenshots on USB Stick now covers more than 30,000
(thirty thousand!) screenshots from 1997 to today. Feed
your PC or Tablet with this data, and the "slide show" will
keep you busy for a few days - or weeks!

More than 800 (eight hundred!) selected new digital data
decoder screenshots will be published on our 2027 Super
Frequency List on CD.

How to get started as a BCL or SWL



Over the past four years, I have written numerous articles explaining what anyone interested in radio communications—such as medium-wave or shortwave stations, or listening to amateur radio—needs to know. I hope the links to these articles will help you get started with this fantastic hobby.

Equipment needed for listening:

I hope these articles will help you to start to be listeners of broadcasting radio stations or amateur radio bands.

Listening to AM radio stations is simpler for a beginner, but listening to amateur radio operators is an incredible hobby. Many DXCC entities, IOTA, etc

Chinaradioswl: Featured dxpeditions timeline by DX WORLD.NET

Chinaradioswl: Featured dxpeditions timeline by DX WORLD.NET:  


October 2026 is expected to be one of the best autumn months of the current solar cycle. We remain in the period of heightened activity for Solar Cycle 25, even though the peak has likely already passed. Current forecasts from NASA and NOAA for autumn 2026 still indicate solar activity well above average and high F10.7 values. The 10, 12, and 15-meter bands should frequently be open, while the 20 and 40-meter bands will continue to serve as reliable DX bands. Only strong geomagnetic disturbances would be likely to cause significant, temporary degradation of conditions.
