Shortwave listeners... yes, both of you, will enjoy this. A British group has been refining software that harvests what remaining SW transmissions are still being broadcasted out there in the murky land of spookdom.

Building on the huge successes of previous editions, Version 3.5 delivers to users a vast array of signals intelligence gathering tools and provides far more comprehensive functionality to cope with today's dynamic signals collection environments. HARVESTER just got better.
