Sad yaar such an interesting thread which will die. There used to be a radio anon who was planning about radio station of sorts.

For anyone interested, you can check out this guy's videos
He's the only Indian making comprehensive DX-ing content on jewtube afaik

an SDR dongle performs worse than a sensitive receiver radio like the D-808 for Shortwave listening out of the box
it only becomes superior if you pair the dongle with an elaborate outdoor antenna like an active magnetic loop for example

although you can use a magnetic loop antenna with any radio as well it'll give you the same reception

i like to consoom raw iq samples to write cheap demodulators. and i do have the antennas

It all depends upon the antenna set up tbh
If you're able to create a professional grade active magnetic loop, you'll be able to catch the most elusive stations regardless of whether you're using a radio or an SDR dongle
what's interesting is that guys like him have been able to catch a lot of international Shortwave broadcasts without using any external antenna at all

if you're a metro city jeet you're most likely out of luck when it comes to Shortwave DX-ING
