Here are the results of the SSB SWL contest 2025
Three amateur radio operators and 14 shortwave listeners participated for eight months in this competition, which consisted of listening for SWL to and contacting as many DXCC entities as possible for the amateur radio operators.
Propagation was great because the solar cycle was at the maximum.
I had expected more participation from amateur radio operators, as I had advertised the contest extensively. Shortwave listeners (SWLs) are often more accustomed to listening to AM radio stations on shortwave and medium wave.
Thank you to all blogs, websites, listeners who speaks of this contest.
You can see all these nice people on the contest rules.

I was sponsor for FRANCE but exept me no FRENCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So i have send a gift to a winner in EUROPE
This is strange because i have transleted the rules of the contest in French, contact few HAM and SWL clubs...
Poor france.
I had 3 more sponsors but one dont answer to my message, the other one dont want to send a gift and think listening with a WEB SDR is not real radio ( when he will be force to use a WEB SDR maybe he will think its better than nothing...)
The last one was nice because he can make a price reduction on her nice DX antennas but no amateur radio from Italia work our contest !
It was my dream !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear friends ans sponsors, thank you very much. It was a great experience to organise the SSB SWL contest 2025.
