Introducing the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive

I am very happy to announce a project to share and archive our shortwave radio
recordings: The Shortwave Radio Audio Archive.
Many of you probably already know that I believe archiving our shortwave radio
broadcasts is vital now. Many broadcasters are leaving the air, and many target
areas are being removed altogether. Meanwhile, over the past two years there have
been new broadcasters coming on the air, often doing test transmissions before
beginning broadcasting in earnest. These, too, are significant in radio history.
I have already populated the site with more than eighty recordings, most of which
I?ve posted here over the past two years. I still have thirty or more to add. Already
in the archive: Radio Bulgaria (now silent), Radio Netherlands Worldwide, The BBC WS
special broadcast of the Diamond Jubilee, and a very interesting Vatican Radio
broadcast announcing the selection of the new pope.
If you subscribe to the SW Radio Audio Archive?s podcast, you?ll be able to see and
download the entire existing collection and new recordings as they are added.
To make this project work, we need your participation! You can help in two ways:
Share your shortwave radio recordings!
Simply create an Archive.org account, upload your recording, and share the link with
us (we have a nifty web form for submissions). Full details are available on this
page.
Simply subscribe to the podcast, download the recordings? and save them.
By doing this, you?ll be making an archived copy of all of the recordings. Here are
two ways to subscribe to the podcast:
Use your podcast application to subscribe to our RSS feed.
Here is the feed URL: http://shortwavearchive.com/archive?format=rss
or subscribe via iTunes by clicking here
Donations and radio-related, commercial sponsorships are also welcome.
On the site, we state that ?Multiple archives in multiple storage locations ensure
the integrity of this collection over time.? This is very true of all archives: the
more forms of back up, the better. Especially since archive-quality digital storage
does not yet exist. Safety and integrity come with redundancy.
Remember, this project is a collective, community effort, so I hope you will consider
sharing your recordings with the rest of the world!
Cheers 73,
Thomas, K4SWL
