Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know that we haven’t a clue what the Imaginary Stations crew will be bringing to you via the shortwaves on Sunday 8th September 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz via Shortwave Gold.

There’s a good possibility it’s another episode of WMMR – Mystery Mix Radio where the listener is asked to work out what the theme of the show is. It could be about unripened tomatoes, traction engines throughout the ages or it could be philately. Who knows? The listener guesses and sends their suggestion to the address given on the show and the person who gets the closest gets a special eQSL. Tune in and see what you think.

Then on Wednesday 11th September 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ll be bringing you another Shortwave Polka Party via WRMI. So dig out that Lederhosen get it to and back from the dry cleaners for the weekend, wash out your tankard and be prepared to polka around the sitting room. Why not invite the neighbours and get them to join in?

Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to you via the shortwaves this week. On Sunday 1st September 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz we will be presenting Skybird Drive-in Radio via Shortwave Gold. We’ve got the matinee and evening spots booked for you so there’s no need to arrive early. Make yourself a tasty snack (hot dogs, tacos, ice cream, a burger or perhaps some popcorn?) and turn on the shortwave radio. Then imagine you’re in a cadillac, tilt your seat back and enjoy all sorts of cinema related tunes as you would in an outdoor experience (until you’re listening to the radio outdoors). Enjoy the evening’s programme!

Then on Wednesday 4th September 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ll be bringing you the Skybird Drive-in Radio experience to all our listeners at WRMI. Do please remember to replace speakers when you leave. Here’s our trailer!

Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to you via the shortwaves this week. On Sunday 25th August 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz they have WEST via Shortwave Gold. Don’t worry, there won’t be any quick on the draw competitions or mandatory poncho wearing but just some great western inspired tunes with whistling, twangy guitars, a bit of yodelling and some banjo picking. So next Sunday sit by the chuck waggon and put the shortwave radio on and strum along with your guitar to the sound of WEST.

Then via WRMI on Wednesday 28st August 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ll be bringing you yet another version of WEST for you campfire listening pleasure. So gather around the radio with all of your stablemates and enjoy a great old programme of way out western fun.
