March 4-5, 2022, Online using the Zoom webinar platform.
The Winter SWL Fest is a conference of radio hobbyists of all stripes, 
from DC to daylight. Historically, every year scores of hobbyists have 
descended on the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania suburbs for a weekend of 
camaraderie. The Fest is sponsored by NASWA, the North American 
Shortwave Association, but it covers much more than just shortwave; 
mediumwave (AM), scanning, satellite TV, and pirate broadcasting are 
among the other topics that the Fest covers. Whether you’ve been to 
every Fest (all 34, starting with the first year at the fabled Pink & 
Purple Room of the Fiesta Motor Inn) or this year’s will be your first, 
you’re sure to find a welcome from your fellow hobbyists, even if it’s a 
“virtual” welcome!.
In 2022, the 35th Annual (!!) Winter SWL Fest will again be going 
virtual courtesy of the Covid-19 pandemic. All activities will be 
conducted online via the Zoom webinar platform.
Registration will be $ 10 per computer screen to defray the Zoom hosting 
expenses. If you already have a PayPal ID you can simply send $ 10 from 
your account to swlfest [at] naswa.net. If you aren’t a PayPal member 
you may also register online via PayPal here. Paper registrations will 
not be processed for 2022.
Your hosts, Richard Cuff and John Figliozzi, work throughout the year to 
ensure that attendees have a great time over the weekend, and by all 
accounts, they succeed stunningly. How else could this event have lasted 
for 35 years (egad) — even with a Pandemic — and draw people from around 
the world to southeastern Pennsylvania? Won’t you join us.
