Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Robertas Pogorelis, who shares the following announcement:
Dear radio friends,
Europarl Radio will be on shortwave with its multilingual Europe Day Show from Brussels and Strasbourg, according to the following schedule:
- Saturday 6 May 09:00-10:00 UTC
- Tuesday 9 May 17:00-18:00 UTC
- Saturday 13 May 09:00-10:00 UTC
on 6070 and 9670 kHz, via 10 kW transmitter of Channel 292 in Waal (Rohrbach), Germany.
The multilingual programmes are produced by the staff of the Directorate-General for Translation at the European Parliament.
The station will issue separate eQSLs for each programme. Qualifying reception reports should contain a description of at least 15 minutes of the programme, as well as of signal quality. Web SDRs are accepted. The reports should be sent to [email protected]
As this is a pilot project, listener feedback will facilitate its repetition in the future. So please tune in and send your reports, comments and suggestions to the above address!
It’s interesting that the EU is doing this, when MW/LW are constantly under siege throughout EU space and it’s enforced at least for security reasons (wildfires, earthquakes, etc) , and also shortwave isn’t being considered either to be kept alive.
