Your thought, "but to me there is something really cool about hearing a
radio station from many many many thousands of miles away." kinda hit the nail
on the head. Yes shortwave may be dwindling but there is so much more out there
that there is never a dull moment. Thanks for your post and keep on posting.
Nice video too.

People complain that there's nothing but talk, religion and politics left
on Shortwave. I choose to listen to 90.4 Oman FM on shortwave because it is
something different. We have to support the stations we have left on Shortwave
or soon what little we have will begin disappearing.
Let the stations you listen to know you're listening. Even if they don't always
answer back, trust me, they've noticed you're writing and have notice that
you're listening
One station or another on Shortwave may not be exactly what you're after but
open your mind a bit and you'll find something to enjoy.
Wether you or others want to admit it, Shortwave is slowly dwindling and with
good reason. Technology, smartphones, internet and etc.. sure there are
countries where internet is expensive/slow or heavily censored but can an
organization afford to spend hundreds of thousands a year for what may be a few
hundred listeners a month? Lets face it, we in the US are lucky.. we have my
money and the ease of access much better listening equipment. A moderately
sized portion of what we hear like Radio New Zealand International, Radio
Australia and BBC is just spill over from being in an area for a good second
hop. We were never in the stations target area. Sure, the BBC and others have
ceased targeting the US on SW, and why should they? For a few hundred listeners
when much better high quality tech is out there?
Some ask why I listen to shortwave at all when I could listen on a smartphone
app in many cases? I do listen to Oman FM via their Smartphone app from time to
time, but to me there is something really cool about hearing a radio station
from many many many thousands of miles away.
Anyways, it was another fantastic signal and good audio today Nov 1 at 1510UTC
from my favorite shortwave relay, 90.4 Oman FM via 15140khz (100,000 watts) in
Thumrait, Oman 🇴🇲 Oman FM is an english language hit/pop music station with
some classic tracks tossed in and the Thumrait shortwave site on 15140khz,
12015khz, 9540khz, 13660khz relays Oman as well as others. Both the FM and SW
stations are owned by the sultanate Of Oman government.
Here's a short video of 15140khz this morning, November 1st at 1510UTC
https://player.vimeo.com/video/240844962
I should note that 15140khz has been alot better as of late.. noticeably
better. Even after I upgraded my antenna early this summer there were days were
the signal was poor and audio was way down in the noise. But, for the last few
weeks, its been anywhere between fair to excellent.
