Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and KSKO Program Director, Paul Walker, who shares the following announcement:
Tune in for two hours of nothing but Christmas tunes December 23rd and it’s extra special because it’ll be a live worldwide broadcast of KSKO on Shortwave!!
From 2300-0100UTC (2pm Alaska, 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern) we’ll be live across Europe on the 250,000 watts of Spaceline Bulgaria’s 5900 kHz transmitter along with the 100KW WRMI 7570 kHz covering North America and the 100KW WRMI 5085 UPDATE: 4980 kHz covering Latin America.
I’m footing the costs out of this out of my own pocket just for the heck of it!
I’m so glad you’re doing this again, Paul! We look forward to tuning in!
Being close to the dead zone here but close enough to get some weird reflections off the north pole and whatnot instead of the direct signal, I often have trouble with heavily garbled signals from the high power broadcasters in SE Europe. Maybe some interference from Rudolf’s new LED nose too, who knows. Took a while to get the best antenna rotation and a receiver with sync detector but no birdie on just of all 5900 kHz going but thanks to Santa sending enough toys down my chimney it’s all good now, half an hour in. 🙂
I wish everyone here on the SWLing Post and on the radios at home very happy, healthy and peaceful holidays!
