Saturday, January 11:
(NEW) 3955 at 1800 UTC simulcasted with 9670 using beam E-F (repeat of January 10 episode).
Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot:
January’s program will feature mainly Kurdish music and will air as follows:

3955 kHz at 2200 UTC
Saturday, January 18:
(NEW) 3955 at 1800 UTC simulcasted with 9670 using beam E-F (repeat of January 17 episode).
In addition to regular radio listening, both shows honor reception reports using websdrs provided that the report covers the entire program and specifies which remote sdr was used. All QSLs are eQSLs, and we will probably send an acknowledgment only for partial reports.

Texas Radio Shortwave’s January-March 2025 program schedule
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Terry Colgan of Texas Radio Shortwave, who writes:
Hi – Here’s our program schedule for the first three months of 2025. We’re continuing to air monthly programs over Channel 292, Rohrbach, Germany, featuring Texas musicians (except in January).
We kick off the New Year with an hour of programming from Swedish pirate station Radio Igloo. It’s been a long time since they’ve been widely heard in North America, and we hope they receive a good response to the program. TRSW and Radio Igloo will issue separate QSLs for correct, detailed reception reports.
We’ve changed the time of our MixCloud streams to make them more accessible to worldwide fans of music by Texas artists and old-time radio shows. Previously, the stream time favored North American enthusiasts. We offer different QSL designs for reports on the MixCloud streams.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Brian (WA1ZMS), who writes:
What has now become an annual LF listening event, WI2XLQ (an FCC Experimental Callsign) will once again be QRV for a recreation of the alleged first voice transmission made by Reginald Fessenden in 1909. Transmission on 486kHz in full carrier AM will start at 22:00z on Dec 24th and run for 24hrs. In keeping with tradition, a repeat transmission will take place on Dec 31st at 22:00z and run for 24hrs. Further details about the Fessenden transmissions can be found in prior years of ARRL News.
-Brian, WA1ZMS
I look forward to tuning in each year. Thank you so much, Brian, for making this annual broadcast a reality!

Texas Radio Shortwave’s Christmas Programs
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Terry Colgan of Texas Radio Shortwave, who writes:
Here’s our December 25 program schedule featuring holiday music by Texas artists. The BIG NEWS is our 0300 UTC broadcast from Woofferton, UK, with 250 kW. Intended primarily for North American listeners, the high-power broadcast should provide good reception in other parts of the world.
We’ll offer different QSL designs for Channel 292 and Woofferton. Detailed reception reports should be emailed to [email protected].
Happy Holidays!
Best wishes and 73.
Terry
