SWL Contest 2025 project

 Hi, this is not the full rules for the next SWL Contest 2025.

Full rules i think in November 2024

I just want to explain what the goal of this new competition will be.

In 2025 from the 01 January to 28 February we will listen AM radio station on Shortwave and Medium wave.

These will only be official radio stations, so please no clandestine or pirate radios.

You can use a real radio and antenna but listeners who use Web SDR or Kiwi SDR will be also welcome.

I will send by mail E-Award for all participation.

In 2025 the IMPORTANT will be the place of the radio station TRANSMITTER

I will explain exactly the rules in November 2024

They are a lot of broadcast radio transmitters for MW and SW in the world.

Look only for China all the transmitters !

https://icomjapan.blogspot.com/2023/08/chinas-radio-broadcast-on-1389.html

Look also SW transmitters map in the world

https://www.mwlist.org/shortwave_transmitter_sites.php

So you can see we will have many radio stations transmitters to listen during the SWL Contest 2025

I hope you will enjoy this new contest

Thank you and 73 de Frank SWL F14368 SWL Contest organizer
