Leave a reply

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who shares the following update:

A follow-up to my post last month: https://swling.com/blog/2026/03/is-nasional-fm-on-shortwave-full-time/

I am now hearing RTM regularly on shortwave on both 11885 kHz and 15295 kHz through Kiwi SDR’s located in Southeast Asia and Australia. As Timm Breyel pointed out, programming seems to be in Chinese on 11885 with IDs noted as “Sabah V FM” at the 52-second and one-minute mark of the attached recording. Voice announcements on 15295 continue to be in presumed Malaysian, but identification can be heard as Nasional FM at the 6:05, 6:14, and 6:20 marks of the second recording. These are both coming from the Kajang Transmitting Station near Kuala Lumpur. It will be interesting to see how far afield their signal can be heard.

Sabah V FM April 2, 2026 on 11885 kHz at 0128 UTC:

Nasional FM April 2, 2026 on 15295 kHz at 0255 UTC:

Bells and bargains on shortwave

Leave a reply

Greetings all SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to the airwaves this weekend. Thanks to the services of Shortwave Gold we have a broadcast of the great Radio Carillon. The first transmission is on Saturday 11th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 15th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz.

Tune in and hopefully at the end of the hour your ears won’t be ringing but will have taken delight in listening to songs about bells, songs with bells and hopefully, some slow ballads played on “a pitched percussion instrument that is played with a keyboard and consists of at least 23 bells.” Tune in and enjoy a wonderful hour of ringing and singing on shortwave.

If you tune into WRMI on Wednesday 22nd April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz you’ll hear the only official supermarket music station on HF called KMRT. Expect bargains, Blue Light Specials, instore giveaways at 30 minutes past the hour and a load of tin cans without the labels on them which will be sold as: 4 mystery tins for the price of 1. (What’s inside? That’s between you and your can opener.)”* Tune in and enjoy the thrills and spills of the supermarket from the comfort of your own home!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Ed, who writes:

Here in Philly, while perusing a vintage artifacts store here in Philadelphia, I found a 1958 magazine with a photograph of an attractive shortwave receiver model.

Maybe readers of the SWLing Post can identify this radio? Is it the successor to the Zenith Transoceanic series?

Cheers,

-Ed

Please comment if you can shed some light on this particular radio.

Ralph Perry’s New Substack Featuring Short Stories as “Chet Nairene”

Leave a reply

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, DXer, and author, Ralph Perry, who writes:

Hi Thomas –

Just a quick one to advise I’ve opened up a new account for my nom de plume, Chet Nairene, on Substack.

This is a source for FREE short stories centering around my usual sweet spot, Westerners getting in over their heads in Asia.

So far there are three stories there for readers to enjoy. The content is humorous and adult, and will resonate for our international radio listener audience, too.

Hope you and your readers will enjoy!
