Dial S for Shortwave

Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s more about what the Imaginary Stations crew will be sending up to the ionosphere this week. On Saturday 25th October 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 26th October 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz, we’ll be bringing you a telephone tribute via the shortwaves called Skybird Telegraph & Telephone Co. 

There will be lots of phone related tunes, a shortwave first in a live on-air attempt of trying to break the world record of ripping two telephone directories at the same time and an interview with someone who used to say “thank you” to the speaking clock (*subject to availability and if our phone lines are working). Tune in and join us in a celebration of the “dog and bone” (as it’s known in cockney rhythming slang).

On Wednesday 29th October 2025 at 0200 UTC via WRMI  we bring you another Ancient Analogue Archive.  This is the show where we dig deep into forgotten music on archive.org). Expect all sorts of everything (and more).

More on Skybird Telegraph & Telephone Co. below:

    Looking forward to it! I haven’t focused on SWL since I was a kid in the ’80s listeng to things like news of the failed Iran hostage rescue attempt from Europe before my parents woke up.
