Was SWLing last night and came across a show of a guy talking in an old timey radio voice. Looked it up and apparently it’s John from ReportOfTheWeek who hosts a shortwave radio show, VORW, every Saturday @ 1am central on 4840 kHz

A little about my ham radio background: licensed for 40+ years. Ex KA3HIY, N5EAZ, NA5E, G0CQW, 9H3FS, C5/NA5E, FP/NA5E. CW and digital modes my favorite. See KL2R for contest info. Also into satellites. Started in radio hobby in 1969 DXing MW broadcast and later SWLing. Propagation studies are cool.

I got started in radio with a portable AM radio. I was 12 and in a bad, unstable situation. At night I’d hear stations from across the US and Mexico. The voices became my “friends”. Graduated to SWLing in high school and college. Passed ham exam in 1981. Been in love with CW since. It’s all magic.
