How to easily listen to radio amateurs bands ?

 AM radio stations on medium wave and shortwave are starting to become rare in 2026.

https://chinaradiosswl.blogspot.com/2025/04/how-to-easily-listen-to-radio-amateurs.html

Why not listen to amateur radio operators ?

They are very active from a lot of places in the world. For amateur radio they are 340 DXCC entities, and for normal people only 200 countries !

They use Single sideband (SSB) and phone (voice)

So you must have a radio receiver with this mode or if you have a computer and internet you can use KIWI or WEB SDR

I wrote an article in April 2025, in this article I try to explain how to begin to start listening to amateur radio bands from 10 to 160 meters.

Can amateur radio be dangerous? YES

 In 1983, a Singapore yacht operated by the owner and his wife transporting four German hams on a DX-pedition to Amboyna Cay was fired upon by Vietnamese forces. One of the hams, Diethelm Mueller, was hit by an artillery round and fell overboard. His body was never found. The yacht burned and the rest of the party drifted for 11 days on debris. Another ham, Gero Band, died of thirst the day before the survivors were rescued by a passing Japanese freighter which took them to Hong Kong.

The first shot fell short, but the next shot struck the captain and he threw himself on the floor, although bleeding badly, as he tried to keep the ship on course. Baldur was also hit in the arm, and was bleeding, as was Norbert. Gero was in contact with another station on 20 meters, and advised him that they were under attack. As Gero left his position, they noticed that Diethelm was missing. It was not actually known if he was shot or thrown overboard. Their dinghy had fallen into the water, and everyone climbed into it, while the boat burned. The shelling continued, as they drifted farther away from the island. They had hoped that the message Gero had sent out on 20 meters had been received okay, and they would be rescued by U.S. Air Force planes in a few days. They believed that the Vietcong had shelled them, and soon discovered their dinghy had also been hit, but they were able to plug the hole with cloth. The bad news was that they had no water, and nothing to eat, and all were only partially clothed with no shoes. They used a small basket to catch tiny fish, which they ate, along with a few mussels from the bottom of the dinghy, but still no water. After about eight days, Gero tried drinking some sea water during the night, and he was dead by morning. They buried him at sea. Since the Spratly Group consists of so many reefs, sandbars and shallow areas, there is very little shipping nearby, so they had to wait until they got close to the shipping lanes for any hope of rescue. Everyone was suffering terribly from thirst - there was little hunger. The skipper and Norbert were both in bad condition, and everyone’s hope centered on a vision Baldur had had a few nights before, when he believed he heard a voice calling through dense fog: ‘On the tenth day you will be rescued.” (which later became the title of Baldur’s book) After several ships passed, indeed on the tenth day (April 19) they were finally spotted by a Japanese ship, the freighter “Linden” under Captain Inose. On arriving in Hong Kong, they were taken to a hospital, where they recovered from their ordeal at sea.

IN 2026

January 25, 2026

The Belarusian government has issued death threats against three amateur radio operators, arrested at least seven people, and accused them of "intercepting state secrets," according to Belarusian state media, independent media outlets outside Belarus, and the Belarusian human rights organization Viasna.

The arrests represent an extreme attack on what is generally a harmless hobby, one that has historically been vilified by authoritarian regimes, in part because the technology is relatively resistant to censorship.

The arrests were announced last week on Belarusian state television. According to the channel, the men belonged to a network of more than 50 people practicing amateur radio and were accused of "espionage" and "treason." Authorities stated that they had seized more than 500 radio devices. The men were accused on state television of using radio to track the movements of government aircraft, although no evidence was presented.

State television claimed they were affiliated with the Belarusian Federation of Amateur Radio Operators and Sports Radio Operators (BFRR), a long-established amateur radio club and non-profit organization that organizes amateur radio competitions, meetings, training sessions, and forums.

On Reddit, Siarhei Besarab, a Belarusian amateur radio operator, issued a plea to fellow enthusiasts: “Emergency appeal from Belarus: Certified amateur radio operators face the death penalty.”

“I am writing this because my local community is being systematically exterminated in what I can only describe as targeted intellectual genocide,” Besarab wrote. “They arrested more than 50 licensed individuals, including those whose call signs were EW1ABT, EW1AEH, and EW1ACE. These men were presented on state television as war criminals and forced to publicly repent for the ‘crime’ of technical curiosity. Propagandists portrayed the Belarusian Federation of Amateur Radio Operators and Radio Sportsmen (BFRR) as a front for a ‘vast espionage network.’”

“State propaganda claims, without a hint of irony, that these men ‘uncovered state secrets out of thin air’ with simple $25 Baofeng handheld terminals and off-the-shelf SDR keys,” he added. “Any operator knows that this equipment is physically incapable of breaking the modern AES-256 digital encryption used by government security services. This is technical fraud, and yet they are being charged with high treason and espionage.” In Belarus, these charges carry a sentence of life imprisonment or the death penalty.

The Belarusian human rights organization Viasna and its associated Telegram channel confirmed the arrest and reported speaking with a fellow inmate of Andrei Repetsi. The inmate explained that Repetsi was not allowed to discuss his case in prison: “The case is classified, so Andrei never divulged the details in his cell. He joked that his file was marked: ‘Top secret. Burn it before you read it,’” Viasna wrote.

The Winter Field Day 24 and 25 January 2026

 January 24, 2026

The Winter Field Association presents Winter Field Day 2026 on January 24 and 25.

Start: Saturday, January 24 at 4:00 PM UTC.

End: Sunday, January 25 at 9:59 PM UTC.

Participants may operate on the HF bands of 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10 meters and on all bands above 50 MHz.

All participants are requested to submit their log entries by 11:59 AM UTC on March 1. Entries submitted after this deadline may not be considered in the results.

Winter Field Day 2026 is an exciting annual event for amateur radio enthusiasts, taking place on the last full weekend of January.

It offers amateur radio operators – primarily in the United States but also in Europe – a unique opportunity to conduct field operations in remote locations, allowing them to establish radio contact with other participants worldwide.

Amateur radio operators can participate individually or with friends, family, and their entire radio club. Winter Field Day is organized by the Winter Field Day Association. This association believes that amateur radio operators need to practice portable emergency communications in harsh winter conditions. Indeed, frost, snow, ice, and other hazards present unique operational challenges.

The Winter Field Day event aims to help participants improve their disaster preparedness and hone their operational skills in challenging conditions. Amateur radio operators can use HF, VHF, or UHF band frequencies for voice, CW, and digital transmissions. The event sets specific goals to encourage a wide range of activities, including the use of non-commercial power sources, the installation of multiple antennas, satellite contact making, and much more.

Antennas are installed in the snow, stations operate in freezing temperatures, and operators put their skills to the test.

Safety is obviously paramount. Thorough preparation is essential. The organizers offer the following advice: closely monitor the weather forecast, take necessary precautions, and know when it is wise to stow your equipment if conditions become hazardous. However, it is precisely these winter challenges that make Winter Field Day so valuable. After all, those who manage to set up and operate a station in January are better prepared for real-life emergencies.

The organizers recommend that all participants carefully review the event rules. For any questions, please visit the organizers' website. Take advantage of Winter Field Day 2026 to hone your amateur radio skills and take on a new challenge. The Winter Field Day Association thanks all participants in the 2026 edition on its website. They wish them good luck, hope to hear many amateur radio operators on the bands, and say: Stay warm, stay safe, and above all, fully enjoy the true spirit of Winter Field Day.

The Winter Field Day event aims to help participants improve their disaster preparedness and hone their operational skills in challenging conditions.
