Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following illustrated radio listening report of a recent China National Radio broadcast.
Carlos notes:
Trump approves reinstatement of death penalty in Washington D.C., China National Radio (CNR), 17590 kHz
“US President Trump issued a proclamation on the 25th approving the reinstatement of the death penalty in Washington, D.C.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi has stated that she will seek to reinstate the death penalty nationwide.”
Apologies for the very late notice, but I wanted to let you know that I’ll be joining WRTH for a live interview on their YouTube channel at the top of the hour.
You’re warmly invited to join the livestream and take part:
Discours de Trump à l’Assemblée générale des Nations Unies, All India Radio, 9620 kHz
“…The annual United Nations General Assembly has begun in New York. Discussions regarding the Israeli war on Gaza and the Russian war on Ukraine are central concerns. During his address, US President Donald Trump criticized the ineffectiveness of the United Nations, contrasting it with his own active efforts to stop offering it to Gaza…”
Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s more about what the Imaginary Stations crew will bring via those shortwaves this week on Saturday 27th September 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 28th September 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC (new time slot) on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz.
It’ll be a trip back in time (via the transmitters at Shortwave Gold) with a show called KTAB – Time Anomaly Broadcasting which will be broadcast in pure mono complete with the ionosphere joining in with fading and such-like, to give you that authentic old time radio feel you don’t get on today’s shortwave radio shows. They’ll be all sorts of great tunes from many years back so expect some snap, crackle and pop and the sound of the gramophone being wound up before that next 78rpm record gets started. Step back in time via the shortwave dial.
On Wednesday 1st October 2025 at 0200 UTC via WRMI we have an episode of Skybird Radio International – The Peruvian Edition. Expect some wonderful music in a true South American style. It’s well worth tuning in for!
For more information on all our shows, please write to us at [email protected] and check out our old shows at our Mixcloud page here.
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Bill Tilford, who shares the following update:
Special Extra Broadcast of September’s Program
Channel 292 will air an encore broadcast of September’s UBMP featuring jazz from Russia and Ukraine on September 28, 2025 at 0300 UTC (11pm Eastern US) on 3955 kHz.
This is an experiment – although most Europeans are fast asleep, this is supposedly the hour of maximum reach for the frequency, and it may or may not touch parts of the world that don’t receive the transmission directly at the usual times. We are about to find out.
Two typhoons are active in the Pacific right now: Neoguri and Ragasa, the latter heading towards South China and Vietnam in the next few days according to this noisy radiofax from the Japanese Meteorological Agency, which I received yesterday in Rio de Janeiro (13988 kHz USB).
