Leave a reply

Good day to all SWLing Post Community, FastRadioBurst 23 from the Imaginary Stations crew here letting you know that this week we present WDWD – Off the Map Radio. It’ll be going out to Europe via the services of Shortwave Gold on Sunday 21st January 2024 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz. Think of large maps flapping in the wind whilst trekking out in the wilds and places far far away.

Then on early Monday 22nd January 2024 we have KTAB running with the theme “Yesterday’s music today” at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI. Step into the shortwave musical time machine and be transported back to a time when valves needed time to “warm up” and tune into some real vintage old-time classics on the old wireless set.

New High Power Broadcast of VORW Radio International to Europe & Africa!

8 Replies

 

Hello shortwave listeners! I wanted to share an exciting update about a new high power broadcast I’ll be doing for listeners in Africa, Europe and beyond!

Beginning Monday the 11th of December, 2023 and continuing every Monday – this radio program will be heard across Africa, Europe & Beyond from a high power transmitter in Issoudun, France.

The broadcast is 1 hour in length and I always consider it to be a light entertainment program. The aim of this radio show is to provide good music and occasional news commentary to listeners worldwide. Oftentimes, listener music requests are taken and played – and all are invited to participate.

 

Here is the broadcast schedule for this additional airing:

Mondays 1900 UTC  – 11920 kHz – Issoudun 100 kW – Africa, Europe, Middle East

For this airing I will resume QSL verification of reception reports, there will be a new QSL every month!

Reception reports and feedback are most welcome at [email protected]

That’s all for today, I just wanted to let you all know that there’s a new airing out there if you’d like something to listen to!
