Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Gérard Koopal for tipping us to this event:
If you’re a radio lover, music fan, or just curious about broadcasting in an analog spirit, you’ll want to check out Eifeler Radiotage. The event is billed as “In 2½ Tagen um die Welt” (“Around the World in 2½ Days”) — a broadcast journey featuring vintage gear, vinyl, tape machines, and live music, without heavy reliance on digital tech.
Details:
- The official site has the full October 2025 program (in German) with schedule, segment descriptions, and times: Eifeler Radiotage Program October 2025
- Their homepage (in German) gives the theme, philosophy, and overall event info: Eifeler Radiotage
If you like slow radio, eclectic music, vintage broadcast flavors, or simply want a relaxing escape in sound, set aside time during the Eifeler Radiotage dates (see the October 2025 program) and tune in via shortwave, FM, or the livestream.
Yes, these will be the Kall-Krekel frequencies. They use the original radio studio inside the real cold war era bunker in Urft. Last year, they also had a video live stream from the studio. I find this project very interesting. Also, the radio content itself was very good last year. I am looking forward to it.
Well, the homepage shows nothing but a program schedule. No technical details, no frequency. I assume they use the usual frequencies in Kall but a little more information would be helpful. I assume their focus is not so much on the detailed aspects of the old technics and shortwave propagation but on the program content 🙂
