Thank you, too, for your support of these sites.I’m Grant, WD6CNF. Additionally, we always try to include links to other retail options if they are available, as we support and freely advertise independent ham radio retailers. We hope you understand, and are grateful for your support.īut please note that we will never create a post and product link explicitly to receive a commission. This means that by clicking on these links, a small percentage of the purchase price for goods you purchase from these sellers will help support our site’s running costs. Many of our links now function as affiliate links. The SWLing Post now participates in two affiliate advertising programs with two large retailers that still sell shortwave radios, the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and the eBay Partnership, designed to provide a means for sites like ours to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to these retailers of radio products. Many of you have suggested in the past that the SWLing Post join an affiliate links program. If you’ve roamed the bands for RTTY signals you’ll find that most are encrypted with a few exceptions, one of which is WLO which is transmitting continuously. These are most commonly used by amateur radio ops too. The RTTY ( Radio Tele TYpe) parameters used by WLO transmissions are 45.45 bauds, 170Hz shift. Those of you who are neophytes to RTTY or just want to dabble then this is the place to be to try your hand at an old and venerable digital mode.
Here on the East Coast it is received with regularity due to it’s strong signal.
Non-voice high seas weather broadcasts and safety messages to mariners can be found by spinning your VFO dial to 8.472 MHz USB courtesy of WLO from Mobile, AL, which provides these transmissions continuously.
