On air since 1975
Radio Delta AM is an independent shortwave station from Elburg, Netherlands – on air since 1975. Built around a living community of Radio Delta Heroes — reception reports, listener stories, and hands-on engineering. We transmit, listen, measure, improve, and share — so shortwave stays human.
Community driven, engineering focused
We love “real radio”: antennas, RF, audio processing, and the magic of signals travelling across borders — without the internet. Every reception report is proof of propagation — and a personal moment worth saving.
-
Heroes first. Your report becomes a pin — and may become a shout-out or Listener Story.
-
Hands-on shortwave. We build and maintain our own chain — and share what works (and what doesn’t).
-
Document & teach. Articles and videos help others learn, rebuild, test receivers, and experiment.

Tip: start with a reception report — then watch your pin appear on the map.
