Where to order your next radio receiver ?

Now there are not many radio shops like in the past. It's easy to order with internet a radio receiver for SWL. But some people don't have credit cards or PayPal. This is a big problem, I think. 

The most famous brands:

AMAZON


https://www.amazon.com/

AliExpress delivers products to over 220 countries and regions worldwide. The platform operates globally, offering services in multiple languages ​​and currencies to tailor the experience for international buyers. Key global reach figures: Coverage: Over 220 countries and territories served. Languages: Available in 18 different languages. Payment: Support for 51 local currencies.
Other payment options: Bank transfer – possible but often slower to process. Klarna – allows you to pay later or in installments at no extra cost (subject to eligibility). Alipay – Alibaba's internal payment system for securely saving your cards.

In the past i have used eBay and it was a good website


eBay Inc. (/ˈb/  EE-bay, styled as ebay) is an American multinational e-commerce company based in San Jose, California, that allows users to buy or view items via retail sales through online marketplaces and websites in 190 markets worldwide. Sales occur either via online auctions or "Buy It Now" instant sales, and the company charges commissions to sellers upon sale. eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in September 1995. In 2021, eBay had approximately 17 million global sellers[2]; in 2023, it reported 132 million annual active buyers worldwide and handled $73 billion in transactions, 48% of which were in the United States. In 2023, the company had a take rate (revenue as a percentage of volume) of 13.81%.[1]

eBay can be used by individuals, companies and governments to purchase and sell almost any legal, non-controversial item. Buyers and sellers may rate and review each other after each transaction, resulting in a reputation system. The eBay service is accessible via websites and mobile apps. Software developers can create applications that integrate with eBay through the eBay API. Merchants can also earn commissions from affiliate marketing programs by eBay.



Shein (/ˈʃɪn/  SHEE-in; styled as SHEIN; Chinese: 希音; pinyin: Xīyīn) is a Chinese global e-commerce platform specializing in fast fashion. While the company primarily focuses on women's clothing, it also offers men's apparel, children's wear, accessories, cosmetics, shoes, bags, and other fashion items. Shein mainly focuses on Europe, America, Australia, and the Middle East along with other consumer markets worldwide.

Founded in Nanjing, China, in October 2008 as ZZKKO by entrepreneur Chris Xu, Shein grew to become the world's largest fashion retailer as of 2022. The company is currently headquartered in Singapore.[5]

Known for selling relatively inexpensive apparel, Shein's success has been credited to its popularity among younger Millennial and older Generation Z consumers.[6] The company was initially compared to a drop shipping business, as it was not involved in design and manufacturing, instead sourcing products from the wholesale clothing market in Guangzhou.[7][8] Beginning in 2012, Shein began to establish its own supply chain system, transforming itself into a fully integrated retailer.[8] The company has established its supply chain in Guangzhou with a network of more than 3,000 suppliers as of 2022.

Le Bon Coin est et restera gratuit pour les particuliers – "c'est son ADN", explique Antoine Jouteau – mais il devient progressivement payant pour les professionnels. Sept nouvelles petites annonces sont ajoutées chaque seconde, s'additionnant aux 21 millions déjà en ligne. De ses 31 pays d'implantation, la France est le seul où le site rencontre un tel succès.

Car malgré son nom, qui fleure bon l'hôtel de la gare ou le café des sports, Leboncoin.fr n'est pas d'origine française mais suédoise. Ce qu'ignorent des millions d'utilisateurs persuadés d'utiliser un site tricolore, aidés en cela, il est vrai, par le nom habilement suivi du ".fr" ainsi que par la carte de France, outil incontournable qui s'affiche sur la page d'accueil. Imaginé en 1996 au fin fond de la Scanie (Suède) par Henrik Nordström, un informaticien de 44 ans, le site fut dénommé blocket.se ("carnet de notes", en suédois) puis racheté par le groupe norvégien Schibsted en 2003.

Depuis, le concept essaime : France, Italie, Espagne, Hongrie, Inde, Vietnam, Philippines, Argentine, Brésil... A l'opposé du très centralisé Ebay, les sites des 31 pays ont chacun un nom propre et sont gérés par une entreprise filiale indépendante. Seul le moteur de navigation, qui permet d'accéder en deux clics à un objet, est le même. D'ailleurs, le nom "Le Bon Coin" a été choisi par sondage auprès de 400 internautes français. Une approche marketing maligne, dupliquée ailleurs : le site s'appelle subito.it ("rapide") en Italie, segundamano.es ("seconde main") en Espagne, mudah.my ("facile") en Malaisie.

Georges Lang DJ on RTL since 1971

 Georges Lang, born on November 16, 1947, in Metz, is a French radio and television host.

https://www.rtl.fr/programmes/la-collection-georges-lang

Specializing in Anglo-American music—primarily from the 1960s to the 1980s, and especially music from the United States (rock 'n' roll, pop, and country)—he has worked at the radio station RTL since 1971.

In 1971, he joined RTL, where, starting in December, he hosted overnight shows from the Villa Louvigny studios in Luxembourg. From May 22, 1973, he hosted *Les Nocturnes*[3] every night from midnight to 3 a.m., later assisted by Lionel Richebourg and Jean-François Johann.


In 1979, he was tasked—alongside Dominique Farran, Bernard Schu, and Jean-Bernard Hebey—with hosting the weekend music programming. This was the "WRTL" era.


In the program *Saga*, he recounted the history of rock 'n' roll stars with the help of Jean-François Johann.


In 1990, he left Villa Louvigny for a new studio on the Kirchberg Plateau[4]. In 1992, he created *Classic-Rock*, a show later hosted by Jean-François Johann. With *Beach-party*, he dedicated the summer months (July and August) to Californian music from the 1960s and 1970s (airing from 11 p.m. to midnight).

In December 2000, RTL's management at the time decided to give the station a younger image by assigning certain time slots to other hosts; he, along with Fabrice and Philippe Bouvard, was dropped from the schedule. Following pressure from listeners, they were reinstated a few weeks later. He then hosted his shows from the station's Paris studios on Rue Bayard. On May 22, 2003, he celebrated the 30th anniversary of *Les Nocturnes*, an occasion marked by the release of a 36-track double CD.



On November 8, 2007, the Country Music Association (CMA) in Nashville presented him with the Country International Broadcaster Award. This honor recognized the radio host who had made the most significant contribution to radio broadcasting outside the United States, specifically for his program *WRTL-Country*[5]. In 1995, he had already received the Wesley Rose Award[5] from the same CMA for the quality of his programs, in which he had hosted prestigious artists such as Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris. On May 22, 2008, he celebrated the 35th anniversary of *Les Nocturnes*.


In 2011, he released a collection album titled *La Collection Georges Lang*, featuring 75 songs that encapsulated his 38 years hosting *Les Nocturnes*. Volume 2 was released for the program's 39th anniversary. Volume 3—a four-CD compilation—was released for the 40th anniversary, which was officially celebrated on May 22, 2013, with Johnny Hallyday appearing as a guest and co-host for the music programming[6].


At the start of the broadcasting season in September 2014, the show *Saga* was cancelled following the retirement of Jean-François Johann, the program's producer, writer, and translator.


During the 2014–2015 season, he continued to host *La Collection RTL* (Monday–Friday, 11 PM – midnight), *Les Nocturnes* (Monday–Thursday, midnight – 3 AM), *WRTL Country* (Friday, midnight – 3 AM), and *Beach Party* (Monday–Friday, summer only)[7], as well as *La Veillée de Noël* (December 24) and *RTL sur son 31* (December 31).

In September 2015, Georges Lang saw his lineup of shows reduced, leaving him with two hours of airtime from Monday to Thursday. Notably, *WRTL Country*—one of his flagship Friday shows, which had earned him two awards—was not renewed. *Les Nocturnes* was cut by two hours; the show, which had been running for over 42 years, was thereafter broadcast from midnight to 1 AM, Monday through Thursday. *La Collection* retained its usual time slots. The schedule change resulted in the loss of the Friday evening music block, with the cancellation of the "Beach Party" edition of *La Collection* and *WRTL Country*. However, following listener pressure, these two shows were reinstated in the Friday evening lineup, albeit following the same scheduling pattern as weekdays: *La Collection* from 11 p.m. to midnight, and *WRTL* from midnight to 1 a.m.


At the start of the September 2016 season, his airtime was reduced further. The Friday evening music session was dropped in favor of a rerun of *Les Grosses Têtes*. *WRTL Country* was moved to Thursday nights from midnight to 1 a.m. *La Collection* remained scheduled from Monday to Thursday (11 p.m. to midnight), and *Les Nocturnes* from Monday to Wednesday (midnight to 1 a.m.).


At the start of the September 2018 season—marking his 45th year on RTL—his airtime shifted to the weekends: *La Collection* (Beach Party edition) on Fridays from 11 p.m. to midnight, followed by *WRTL Country* from midnight to 1 a.m.; *La Collection* followed by *Les Nocturnes* on Saturdays from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m.; and the same schedule on Sunday nights, except that *Les Nocturnes* regularly hosted guests starting at midnight[8]. The show was also broadcast live in Belgium on Bel RTL.

On May 21, 2023, he celebrated the 50th anniversary of the show *Les Nocturnes*[9], holding the record for the longest tenure by a single host on the same program[10]. To mark the occasion, a compilation titled *50 ans de Nocturnes* was released on June 29, 2023, available as a 20-track double vinyl set[11] and an 83-track 5-CD box set. As of September 2023, *Les Nocturnes* airs on Saturdays from midnight to 1 a.m. and on Sundays from midnight to 2 a.m. *WRTL Country* is scheduled for Saturdays from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. *La Collection* airs on Fridays and Saturdays.
