  • Fascinating

    For the lovers of shortwave and vintage radios this Podcast is a perfect soundtrack. I love the cracklings and sounds and the test transmissions bring me back memories of me playing with grandpa’s radio.

    Highly suggested for ham radio fanatics and lovers of the Conet Project and Numbers Stations.
