SWL?

One of the more satisfying aspects of DXing is collecting QSL cards and letters from stations Broadcast AM, FM, SSB, UKW, LW And Radio Pirate broadcast sations.

Stations Ham radio ( Amateur radio )

Stations CB Radio  ( Amateur Cb radio )

Also some Aircraft, and Martitime ships and coast controle.

you have heard. QSLing these stations involves writing an accurate reception report of a station you have heard, mailing it to the station, and waiting for a reply. It sounds easy enough, and it is, but some techniques can help to improve your success rate.

AA and AADX.

During my DX transmission, I received on my mailbox, often SWL qsl cards, and Letters Report. From Listening Amateurs and also those who transmit. Heard me, But I did not hear them. My first SWL card I received from the EX DDR Germany 1981, But also from New Zealand heard me, I did not hear them.

also from USA UK and other countries, I was very surprised and very happy. I really appreciate this with love to receive SWL reports.

And I sent all SWL reports back with a Letter and my QSK card with a souvenir. Nothing is nicer to receive a SWL card or Letter from countries you did not speak to, But they did hear you. This is an added value.

How Handel I am als Amateur radio CB  / Ham whit SWL Rapports?

2024 Is frightening How many CB and Ham Do not know what a SWL Report is, Here the Club, Groups Veremigen falls short. Teach your members what a SWL Report is. There is still a lot of work to be done on CB radio by DX groups clubs. Teach your members the difference between qsl

- DX qsl cso

- DX reception report SWL qsl cards(eqsl cards) Teach your members this.

You are a CB or HAM radio amateur with a transmitter. You receive a QSL card or Digital Eqsl card. But you do not see the call in your logbook.

Is it correct that a SWL Station does not talk to you, These are Listening amateurs without a transmitter. But with shortwave and or other Decoders or Digital via Hardware Decoder as SDR play, Or via WBSDR, KiwiSDR online via offered SDR servers.

How should I answer this.

- your calling qsl Eqsl

- Call date time, freq, mode comment

- Remarks comment field Thank you for your SWL Report, I appreciate this and Nice that you heard me In qso with (station name) 73 your calling.

LOOK IT'S SO EASY READ THIS, AND TELL OTHERS HOW IT WORKS. OR SEND THEM TO MY WEBSITE.

It is so polite to always answer a SWL qsl card, Not answering is rude, This says a lot about yourself. That you do not even appreciate that a listening (swl) amateur spends time listening to stations, and make a report and send QSL or Eqsl to you. And you do not care about this. Are you a bad DX operator, without any respect for the SWL listening Amateur who makes a lot of effort for you. Deeply sad that ANO 2024 Many of you do not even know and know the difference what SWL is (SWL will never speak to you so it is not mentioned in your Logbook. understand this now)

exemple swl qsl card i am recieve 92wm/0 via eqsl manager.
This Eqsl is fill out Correctly, you read SWL in RST field.

a footnote.

During my Founding of AA AADX 1978

It was so that our members were obliged to answer SWL qsl.

In case of Complaints they were banned. The goal of AA AADX is high quality Dx operators with Respect and 100% qsl Back like this for DX station and SWL station. I hope that other clubs like Alfa tango, Sugar Delta India radio, Delta Alfa etc. etc. will place this info on their website. and teach their members this What is a SWL report. why don't I see SWL call in the logbook etc. Teach them this.
