Our library of Dual CD Sets available directly from Ian McFarland!
Series 1 - 2 CD Set - signed by Ian McFarland - Were you a shortwave listener back in 1974? If you were a regular listener to RCI's popular SWL Digest program, which went off the air in March of 1991 in the wake of a devastating budget cut at RCI, then you may remember the SW station Idents & Interval Signals Series that was featured on this award winning program.
That series featured over 100 identification and interval signals from SW stations around the world. Many of the ident signals heard in that long running series are no longer on the air. If you feel nostalgic about the "good old days" of SWLing you'll be interested to know that this unique series is now available in an autographed two CD set.
Series 2 2 CD Set signed by Ian McFarland- CD#1 The Foreign Language recognition course + Bonus CD of classic McFarland. Ever feel like you could do better with radio listening on the SW, MW and LW bands if you could only identify the language?
Well, help has arrived with the release of Ian McFarland's foreign language recognition course. CD-One, of this series, contains 55 language samples and analysis by noted linguist, the late Doctor Richard E. Wood.
You will be pinning down DX faster than ever with this concise and complete audio series CD. A 2nd bonus CD contains 3 astounding flash-back shows in their entirety from the Ian McFarland catalog of classics.
Series 3 - 2 CD Set signed by Ian McFarland - Yesterday and Today - 20 Years of SW Broadcasting. What we feel is our finest work ever.

We combine a present day (2009) Live forum with a flash back to 1989 - The joint SWL Digest-Swiss SW Merry-go-round program devoted to the International Radio Days conference in W. Berlin in 1989.
