Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As radio developed in the early 1920s, the focus for most people was the AM band and stations such as KDKA, the first broadcast station. There was, however, another broadcast method that was popular among many early enthusiasts--shortwave radio. As is true today, the transmission of news and entertainment programs over shortwave frequencies permitted reception over great distances. For many in America and beyond, shortwave was an exciting aspect of the new medium. Some still tune the shortwave bands to enjoy the programming. Others pursue broadcasts for the thrill of the hunt. This book fully covers shortwave broadcasting from its beginning through World War II. A technical history examining the medium's development and use tells the story of a listener community that spanned the globe. Included are overviews of the primary shortwave stations operating worldwide in the 1930s, along with clubs and competitions, publications and prizes. A rich collection of illustrations includes many QSLs, the cards that stations sent to acknowledge receipt of their transmissions and that are much prized by long-distance collectors.

Download or read book Broadcasting on the Short Waves 1945 to Today written by Jerome S. Berg and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2008-10-24 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortwave broadcasting originated in the 1920s, when stations used the new technology to increase their range in order to serve foreign audiences and reach parts of their own country not easily otherwise covered. The early days of shortwave radio were covered in On the Short Waves, 1923-1945: Broadcast Listening in the Pioneer Days of Radio, published by McFarland in 1999 (paperback 2007). Then, two companion volumes were published, picking up the story after World War II. They were Listening on the Short Waves, 1945 to Today (McFarland, 2008; paperback 2010), which focuses on the shortwave listening community, and the present Broadcasting title, about the stations themselves and their environment. The heart of the book is a detailed, year-by-year account of the shortwave bands in each year from 1945 to 2008. It reviews what American listeners were hearing on the international and domestic shortwave bands, describes the arrivals and departures of stations, and recounts important events. The book describes the several categories of broadcasters--international, domestic, private, religious, clandestine and pirate. It explains the impact of relay stations, frequency management, and jamming. It also addresses the considerable changes in shortwave broadcasting since the end of the Cold War. The book is richly illustrated and indexed, and features a bibliography and extensive notes.

Download or read book Global Radio written by Shaheed Nick Mohammed and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Radio: From Shortwave to Streaming chronicles the development of radio as a global medium. In this book, Shaheed Nick Mohammed examines the evolution of radio from its early uses as little more than a novelty into a set of powerful systems for international exchanges of news, culture, and political influence. In doing so, the book follows the development of radio as a wireless form of the telegraph, its evolution into a medium for sound transmission across the air, and its adaptation to digital networked audio and transmissions technologies. Mohammed also outlines the myriad changes in the radio industry in numerous contexts around the globe and over time, including the early development of commercial and non-commercial broadcasting in the United States, Europe, India, and China and the evolution of so-called “international broadcasters.” As radio played a part in colonial politics, it also figured prominently in the politics of the post-colonial. Within the broader context of global radio, this book examines several former colonies and the transformation of radio from a tool of empire into an instrument of national development. It also focuses on instances in which developing nations have used radio to bridge the gap between rural audiences and digital networked technologies, connecting them to the global information superstructure. Scholars of media studies, communication, radio studies, international relations, and political science will find this book particularly useful.

Download or read book Qsl written by Ronald W Kenyon and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is QSL? This mysterious abbreviation means nothing to most people with the exception of those who are either radio amateurs or listen to shortwave radio stations as a hobby. "QSL" is one of a number of three-letter abbreviations, all beginning with the letter "Q" developed as a shorthand way of communicating in the early days of radio, when messages consisted of Morse code. "QSL?" meant a question, "Did you receive my message?" and its answer, "QSL" meant "I received your message." . When amateur radio and shortwave listening became popular hobbies before World War II and, again, in the 1950's and 1960's, thousands of radio stations around the world began confirming reception of their broadcasts by sending specially-designed QSL cards through the mail and these QSL cards became collectibles. That is when, as an adolescent, the author traveled the world and never left home..Section One of this book reproduces in full color 107 vintage QSL cards from radio stations in 78 countries. Section Two features cards issued by 34 radio amateurs and people who actively listened to shortwave radio stations and exchanged their cards. Section Three depicts seasonal greeting cards sent to listeners by radio stations in nine countries. A seventeen-page introduction initiates the reader into the world of shortwave radio listening and discusses all aspects of the hobby. .An appendix, "A Letter from Antarctica," recounts how the author, in Kentucky, was linked to a British meteorologist at a base in Antarctica via a radio station in Montevideo, Uruguay. .QSL: How I Traveled the World and Never Left Home is the first book to be published reproducing in color an entire collection of vintage QSL cards and will appeal to radio amateurs and shortwave listeners as well as historians, geographers, collectors of radio memorabilia and the intellectually curious..List price is $35.00.
