I’ve heard many people say that there are no broadcast stations on short wave anymore. On the contrary, even with a moderate antenna, many stations from all over the world can be heard. Here are some short wave broadcast stations I’ve heard from my QTH on the south coast of the U.K.
I’ll be adding to this page so do come back and check it now and then.
