Good job. I hope BBC and others follow your example.

Where is VORW RADIO located?? VORW is not a legitimate callsign.
VORW is just the acronym for the show Voice Of the Report of the Week. It’s not a station callsign.
Hello, It is broadcast from WRMI I believe.
Hello, just picked up your station on my shortwave Sony Icf 6800w and Sony Crf 320, Frequency 15770, the reception was not that great but I will check back sounds like an interesting station. Ohh by the way I’m in Prague, CZ. Cheers from the Golden City
I found your station this evening on 5.850 mc. and your signal wall to wall & 10′ tall. I was using my Hammarlund SP-600 JX17. I also have a BC-348Q.The antenna is about 75′ of wire from my house to a convient tree heading s.e. to n.w. . I am located in central n.j.. I used to listen to shortwave alot in the winter, and now alot of what I used to hear has moved on to other means. I dragrace and that amongst other things use alot of my time, but I intend to listen more to s.w. and watch alot less t.v. RACER
Location is Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Listening on 13 Jun 2019 with SDRPlay 2 rcvr with SDR Console v3.09 software. Frequency is 7730 kHz and signal strength is 20 over S9 with rapid fading. 9395 kHz is also strong with less fading.

I’m listening at 21:58 UTC, 6 April 2018, 9955 kHz, via WebSDR’s shortwave receiver located at the amateur radio club ETGD at the University of Twente. (see http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ ) – WRMI is the transmitting facility.
Lots of fading, and a bit of noise. But, got it without any hitch.
Do you QSL?

Excellent listening this evening on WRMI relay, 5850 khz. Using a 1958 RCA International receiver, manufactured in West Germany. Your signal was Q5 and strong. My antenna is a “center fed” dipole at 65′.
I’ve been a Radio Amateur for over 45 years and collect many vintage radios. It is a pleasure to hear your broadcast. Please keep up the good work and sharing the value of SWbroadcasting to the world!

Also I heard this VORW radio signal at 5850 (1000-1030 UTC) with real SINPO=55555. I am located northern Mexico (Durango) and I used an AR-3000A communications receiver coupled to a vertical multi band antenna. They play nice oldies songs and read signal reports from SWLs .
Best regards from Mexico and 73

Hi there, greetings from Edinburgh Scotland. I tune in every Sunday on 9400 kHz via Tecsun PL-310 ET. If I Can get to higher grounds, the whip antenna is enough, reception is clear and stable with no fading at all. Thank you for playing good music of diverse genres. Also it is very interesting to hear reports from other fellow listeners mentioning where they’re able to catch the signal!
Keep up, great work.

i am listening to VORW radio on 9400kHz with a good signal with a little fading (1650GMT). I was receiving the signal outside on the terrace using my good old sony 2001d (2010) with its whip antenna when you were transmitting a song of the group queen (forgot which one it was). I wonder why the station is not listed on https://www.shortwaveschedule.com/?now=true. I am now following the transmission on a kenwood ts 570D transceiver connected to an inverted v antenna.

Hi there I was listening to your program this evening and it was the first time i have heard it. The signal was good and steady. There was a bit of static but not bad. this was at 2036 utc and at freq. 11580 khz. I believe the relay station is WRMI. I would so enjoy a QSL card from you as it is a first encounter with your station. I really like the diversity of music you play and i hope to keep receiving your broadcasts. I am located approximately 8 kilometres from Fredericton which is in the province of New Brunswick on Canada’s east coast. My equipment is a Grundig s350 and a Radio Shack dx300 with a 45 foot long wire running not/south and another 45 foot long wire running east/west. Keep up the good work and cheers for now.
