I just knew that at some point, Jeff K1NSS would include Thomas Witherspoon, K4SWL in his Friends Of The Shortwaves series on Dashtoons. It was a no-brainer. Thomas’ blog, The SWLing Post has a very strong following and Thomas continues, through the blog, to make a strong case for the continued use of shortwave broadcasting the world over, and to support the interests of shortwave listeners. He also hosts an online archive of shortwave recordings at The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive. If that wasn’t enough, as founder and director of the charitable organisation Ears To Our World, he puts self-powered shortwave radios into the hands of people in areas of the world that are under-served by the forms of mass media communication that we enjoy in the developed world. Thomas doesn’t just talk the talk – he walks the walk as well.
If you need the services of an experienced and talented artist who also “gets” the ham community (as he is himself a ham), you should seriously consider Jeff Murray K1NSS. Many people have used his services, and you’ll see many examples of his work at Dashtoons.

Hi There.. Nice bit of Info for those of us who still do a little SWLing. Have you procured and build the 4State QRP group’s little ‘Patrolman’ rig yet?. Fun Build and fun to play with.
