SWLQSL.Com is always looking at ways to make being part of our shortwave community fun and exciting. We now have a Cool Facebook group DRC – Digital Radio CLub on FB check it out.  Our next move was to give SWL’s a home to talk about shortwave and meet new people around the world.

We are into radio!! So that means HAM radio / CB / MW LW / Shortwave / AM FM you name it and we love chatting with people about Antenna’s – SKIP – DX and everything in between.  So we launched our own ZELLO channel that can be accessed:

Via Zello FREE APP

Via Zello phones and walkie talkies

Zello is the leading push-to-talk voice messaging app for teams and businesses worldwide, turning iOS, Android, and Windows devices into walkie-talkies that also record messages, track location, and send emergency alerts & images globally. You can think of a Zello channel as a hyped-up CB radio channel. It allows you to communicate with other people, up to 5000 at a time.

 

We have created a channel linked with our website and social media where verified SWL’ers can come together globally and chat about shortwave & Radio in general – CB – HAM – GMRS – Shortwave – and digital communications.  There are also some really cool ways to access and use the service; However You Must Have A SWL Call Sign Or A Hamsphere – CB or GMRS Call Sign (See below how to get set up FREE)

Low Earth Orbit Satellite Tracking

  Ok Space junkies (LEO) Low Earth Orbit Satellites: We are always finding interesting projects for SWL’s and well anyone with interest to give it a go. This project will have you setting up and launching a tiny satellite ground station. LEO satellites are generally less costly to place as they require a great deal less rocket power to place. As compared to geosynchronous orbiting satellites at 36,000 km, LEO travel through a much denser atmosphere and thus experience far more aerodynamic drag. This means they require more power to travel at higher speeds and make corrections to maintain their lower orbits. Commonly used for communications, military reconnaissance, spying and other imaging applications. Most of the man-made objects orbiting earth are in LEO. Satellites made for communications benefit from the lower signal propagation delay to LEO.
