I like to hear music on shortwave it gets so distorted in a good way with multipath propagation delays and QSB each and every broadcast of the song always sounds different. Not that bland same-old same-old FM exact reproduction.
ERT Greece was booming in for several hours last Friday evening on 9420 kHz. After spotting the station on the Sangean ATS-909X I switched to a Zenith Trans-Oceanic B-600 for much better music audio. The Greek station was playing quite an assortment of selections from classical to folk and pop. I had it on the ZTO for over three hours.
All on WBCQ 5.110 MHz and http://www.splatterbox.us:5110

Here are a few missed music shows.
It’s only 20 kilohertz up the band. I don’t think my analog tuning radio will notice the difference.

Thank you so much. For me, the catch has been Zánzibar 11725. On my ‘new’ radio shack dx 392.
Excellent guide! I just downloaded a copy.
