Ou’ll find a good how-to on FTA at the following link: Voice of Turkey, Polski Radio found above. Voice of Russia, and Congo radio are good ones. Kuwait, Syria, and the Middle East are well represented by the radio stations above. IRIB stands for Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting. I did a scan today of what is available, and below are three screenshots of the stations available to the listener.ĭuna World radio is from Hungary. They run about $90.Īs stated earlier, Galaxy 19 is one of the best satellites to use for international radio broadcasts–currently, it has about 90 radio channels available for listening.

There are several Free To Air satellites in the Clarke Belt, and the reception is cost-free as these broadcasts are for expatriates living around the world who need to tune in to stations back home. I’ve owned more shortwave radios than shoes (hi hi)–! However, there is a not-so-well known way of receiving radio broadcasts from around the world, and this is by Free To Air Satellite (FTA).įree To Air satellite reception requires using a minimum 30 inch Ku band satellite dish, an LNB (Low Noise Block) amplifier, a Free To Air satellite receiver, and skills to aim at a satellite carrying these broadcasts. Having been a shortwave listener since the early 1960’s, I’ve depended mainly on shortwave radios to hear foreign broadcasts. I find your SWLing Post blog a constant fountain of information on the world of shortwave listening.
