I have decide to organise a new SWL Contest in 2024

You dont need to be registred to make this contest

In 2024 the SWL Contest will be in June July and August 2024

In 2024 we listen only AM radio stations on shortwave bands ( no medium wave )


You must listen a maximum of radios stations on maximum of shortwave bands

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortwave_bands

Only AM radios stations ( no pirate radios, amateur radios, digital, SSB etc )

Clandestines radios stations are accepted 

In 2024 i will give only e-AWARDS

You must send your list of listening radios stations before the 9 september 2024

To send your list and and if you have questions the mail adresse is 


swlcontest@gmx.fr


You can write your list of radio station listened i a normal message or use PDF or EXCEL

You can also simply write your liste of radios stations listened like a email message

Your list must be BAND BY BAND

At the end of your list give these informations:

Exemple 11 meter:  I listen 2 radios stations

15 meter: 12 radios stations

Etc

Also at the end of your list you must write for exemple " I have listen 48 radios stations on 10 different SW bands "

Remember the goal is to listen maximum of SW radios stations one all the shortwave bands

So if you listen radio station "China radio international" on 11 meter band, you must try also to listen CRI on other SW bands. 

But listen only one time a radio station on a band.

 The site ( place ) of the SW transmitter is not important. Its nice if you can listen "China radio international" on 10 different shortwave bands or more, even CRI transmit from China, Africa or Cuba 

You can listen with a real radio receiver and real antennas ( SDR with real antenna is also OK )

You can listen with a WEB SDR or a KIWI SDR on your computer and internet, but you must listen during the contest only via this WEB or KIWI SDR ( you can not change to listen via another Web or Kiwi SDR in another place ) You will give my adresse of this Web or Kiwi SDR

Be honest please!

Even you are not in Europe you can use a Kiwi or Web SDR in Europe or another continent

Exemple this very nice web SDR in the Netherlands 150 kHz to 30 MHz
