A topic *does* bring back memories. I didn't have any fancy equipment but have spent countless hours scanning the shortwave I and II bands on my Sanyo two-in-one.
But that was 1980s, when Salma Sultan was the face of Indian TV. The cold war was still on and radio Moscow was the loudest voice in short wave. There was BBC world service and BBC Hindi service (was her name Ramaa Pandey?). And radio Deutsche Welle, China, South Africa, VOA (trash), AIR world service, Pakistan and many others that I can't remember. Much later, I remember listening to Aum Shinrikyo radio station, months before they were booked for the sarin attacks on Tokyo subways. It was like a treasure hunt.
Then I went to college. Then work. A bit of traveling wore off the mystique that those foreign accents carried. As I grew older I found most of the broadcasts to be shameless propaganda. I stopped listening to shortwave.
About a year ago, I decided to pick up a receiver and the only one I could find in the stores was Sony IFC-F12 (ICF-F12 : Transistor Radio : Radio : Sony India). The Shortwave sounded boring. I could hear many stations speaking in guttural voices, which I assumed were Arabic. There was no radio Moscow. VOA was as asinine as I had found it 20 years ago. After a few days of knob turning, I moved on and didn't bother with it again.
If someone is still DXing and can share program timings, I would love to give it another try.
