The October 2024 edition of RadCom includes an article about the very first two-way radio communication between the UK and New Zealand, something that Sir Edward Appleton—radio physicist and Nobel laureate—later described as “probably the most dramatic moment in the history of the development of the short waves.” The contact was between two radio amateurs, […]
With just two weeks until the RSGB Convention, this year’s event is the place to go if you are interested in anything and everything to do with amateur radio. There will be a host of expert speakers presenting on topics ranging from sporadic E, and how to use AI to write amateur radio applications, to […]
Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) is taking place 18 to 20 October 2024. The event promotes friendship and global citizenship, and is a brilliant celebration of amateur radio among the groups within the Scout Association. Some groups have already shared details of activities that will be taking place over the weekend, and the RSGB plans […]
The RSGB has responded to a recent Ofcom Consultation, which would see new users sharing spectrum within the 2.3GHz amateur band. Whilst the new devices may be limited to indoor use, the RSGB has taken the opportunity to highlight concerns regarding the weak signal 2320MHz segment. In addition, the RSGB has also indicated its wish […]

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Tom Laskowski, who shares the following recording and notes:
Broadcaster: WRNO
Date of recording: October 10, 1982
Starting time: 2300
Frequency: 11.955 MHz
Reception location: South Bend, Indiana
Receiver and antenna: Sony ICF-2001
Notes: Here are two back-to-back episodes of Glenn Hauser's World of Radio from October 10, 1982 and October 24, 1982. WOR normally aired on WRNO on Sundays at 2330 UTC on 11.955 MHz. A change of frequencies was announced in this first broadcast and might be the actual time and frequency where I recorded these two. These recordings are almost 42 years old and this program is still on the air.
Some of the program highlights are: Part 1: DX, DX and More DX, Station news, lots of UNIDs (one of my UNIDs is featured), Amateur and utility DX news. Part 2: DX news about many countries, recommended BBC programs, NBC radio cancellations, mediumwave news (mentions of some of my LA mediumwave catches), harmonic DX and TV DX from France.
Ofcom has consulted on adding new spectrum at 2320-2340 MHz to their sharing framework, to make it available for low power indoor use. This overlaps amateur usage and restrictions in the 2320-2350 range (the 13cm band) that was affected by previous changes. Ofcom Consultation – July-2024 RSGB Response – Sep-2024 Older Background: Spectrum Release – […]
