Abandoned Spectrum

Posted on September 29, 2012

There seem to be two realities with regard to shortwave, and they both exist at the same time.

There seem to be two realities with regard to shortwave, and they both exist at the same time.

In reality Number 1 shortwave stations are abandoning their long years of service and shutting down, believing that internet presence is the new medium.

In reality Number 2 the apparent availability and sale of shortwave radios seems to be at an all-time high and growing, a fact that I noticed by recently shopping for a good portable.

With the spectrum analyzer, a device that allows viewing large amounts of radio spectrum on a screen, I have been scanning and observing the shortwave neighborhood from 1800kHz up to 30mHz, and see mostly vacant territory, seen from here in the center of north america, with small clusters of stations around certain frequencies.

Now would be a good time to revise the FCC rules giving part 15 operators a greater place in the renovation of shortwave. All those new radios need stations for their dials.
