Welcome to episode 5 of The SWL DXing news podcast. In this episode you will hear about the end of the line for two very popular and excellent Tecsun radios, an international SW competition, good news about radio listenership in the United Kingdom, Radio New Zealand’s DRM transmitter being put into service and some frequency news on both shortwave and medium wave. I end with the regular propagation forecast.
