If you have an interest in shortwave transmitter sites of either domestic or international radio stations then you may be interested in joining a new radio group named: SHORTWAVESITES.

ABOUT

Shortwavesites is the title of our YAHOO GROUP created to share our interests in shortwave transmitter sites. This radio group has been established for: Radio Enthusiasts, SW DXers & Clubs, Radio Historians & Shortwave Radio Engineers & the like. The purpose of the group is to provide accurate information & discussion about both current & historical domestic & international shortwave (SW) broadcast band (BCB) radio station transmitter sites & related topics of interest.

Our Yahoo Groupis a location where DXers & enthusiasts can:
1. Download frequently updated Microsoft Excel spreadsheets (two files) of both current & extinct SW broadcast radio transmission site data, i.e. one for each. These are referred to as our: TRANSMITTER SITE DATABASE files.
2. Share & access images & Photos of SW transmitter sites.
3. View images of QSL’s that display transmitter sites.
4. Access a Database of stations that list transmitter sites on their QSLs.
5. Discuss relevant topics of interest & share images about current & historical SW transmitter sites within our popular Message area.
6. Access our Links page to web-pages about SW transmitter sites.
7. Access our Files area for the TXer Site Database & more..

TRANSMITTER SITE DATABASE: Our Microsoft Excel Files contain data located under continental & country headings. We provide (where known) data such as:

a) Countries where sites located.

b) Accurate transmitter site names & locations.

c) Radio Stations that have used a particular transmitter site.

d) The date shortwave broadcasting commenced from a transmitter site.

e) The date the site ceased broadcasting on shortwave.

f) Accurate coordinates of shortwave transmitter sites for locating on ‘Google Earth’.

g) Fields to record logging & QSL data pertaining to TXer sites.

h) Callsigns and more. [ Click here for a sample view of our spreadsheets ]

Our transmitter site files & website is a work in progress as the exact location of many transmitter sites remain unknown. However our group is kept active with the arduous task of locating further information. The group thrives on each others enthusiasm & our popular usage of Google Earth ensures a fascinating experience for all members.

Our group is not solely restricted to shortwave sites. We happily accept contributions of significant LW, MW, FM & TV sites from time to time.
