SWLQSL.Com is always looking at ways to make being part of our shortwave community fun and exciting. We now have a private Facebook group SWLQSL on FB check it out.  Our next move was to give SWL’s a home to talk about shortwave and meet new people around the world. 

NOTE: Some SWL’s Don’t Care About Getting A HAM License – This Is Why We Started This Channel Is So When You Want To Chat With Like Minded People You Can! No Monthly Fee’s or No Expensive Gear – No License Needed – FREE Call Sign Available!!

We are into radio!! So that means HAM radio / CB / MW LW / Shortwave / AM FM you name it and we love chatting with people about Antenna’s – SKIP – DX and everything in between.  So we launched our own ZELLO channel that can be accessed:

• Via Zello FREE APP
• Via Zello phones and walkie talkies

Zello is the leading push-to-talk voice messaging app for teams and businesses worldwide, turning iOS, Android, and Windows devices into walkie-talkies that also record messages, track location, and send emergency alerts & images globally. You can think of a Zello channel as a hyped-up CB radio channel. It allows you to communicate with other people, up to 5000 at a time.

We have created a channel linked with our website and social media where verified SWL’ers can come together globally and chat about shortwave & Radio in general – CB – HAM – GMRS – Shortwave – and digital communications.  There are also some really cool ways to access and use the service; However You Must Have A SWL Call Sign Or A Hamsphere – CB or GMRS Call Sign (See below how to get set up FREE)
