A shortwave solar eclipse for Europe

Hi I’m FastRadioBurst 23 from the Imaginary Stations crew letting you know about this week’s shows. The first broadcast is to Europe via Shortwave Gold on Sunday 7th April 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz. Sadly Europe will miss out on the eclipse on Monday 8th so we bring you the next best thing, a shortwave solar eclipse with KSOL – The eclipse edition. We won’t leave you in the dark (well probably for a minute or two) and will supply some tunes to bring you a bit of sunshine.

On Thursday 11th April via WRMI we bring you another episode of The Shortwave Music Library at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz. Expect the unexpected, as DJ Frederick goes through his record collection and pulls out some eclectic tunes!

Chasing rainbows and PDQ Bach

Hi all SWLing Post Community, FastRadioBurst 23 from Imaginary Stations crew letting you know about our shows this week. Via the services of Shortwave Gold on Sunday 25th February 2024 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz we have the many colours of WRBW “Where rainbows connect us all”. Expect all the colours of the rainbow and a pantone swatch book of hits.

Then via WRMI on Thursday 29th February 2024 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz we have a musical tribute to Peter Schickele, Composer, Satirist, Radio DJ and bon vivant. Our tribute is an hour of music from PDQ Bach, the “youngest and the oddest of the twenty-odd children of Johann Sebastian Bach”. The show is certainly one interesting listen and something different for your airwaves. Tune in next Thursday and enjoy some classical madness.

We are still looking for some financial help to cover our production and transmission costs for our shows on shortwave so here’s our fundraising video below. We’d love to keep our show on the air for the rest of 2024 and looking for donations (no matter how small as everything helps) to keep our shows bouncing off that ionosphere. Remember radio connects us all!
