Once again it’s time for another SJTJ programme!
Same old formula – a mix of (mostly) current melodic electronic based music, with at least one song you’ll likely recognise from 30 years ago & one new song from an extremely well known artist we’ve all known for over 50 years!
As always – on shortwave thanks to our wonderful SW relay partners!
Also available online – crackle free – at – www.sjtjradio.com
Happy listening!

February programme now out!! 60 minutes of music you’ve likely never heard before (except for one) and – contrary to some popular belief – proof that they do make music as good as they used to, and, you can hear the words…!! (Yes I know… again I’m sticking my head above the parapet to be shot down…!!)
Programme schedule attached (above) – why not tune in & make contact for one of our eQSL cards, and then listen online at www.sjtjradio.com to our Mixcloud player. It’s a bit like tuning in to a fading MW signal ‘from a point at sea’ & then buying the album – and hearing so much more!! eQSLs issued for all types of listening in…
Happy DXing / Happy Listening !!

From the Isle of Music February 2026
We are going to go “retro” this month and feature some lesser known but excellent Cuban fusion and dance bands from the 1970s and 1980s. Some listeners who only know the North American narrative about Cuban music will be surprised at what was being recorded, performed and broadcast then.
Friday, February 13, 2026, 3955 kHz, 1800 CET (1700 UTC), repeat 2300 CET (2200 UTC)
Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot February 2026
We are going to feature folk/folkloric music from Denmark. Expect a surprise or three. Note that the hours are slightly different than for FTIOM.
Friday February 20, 2026, :3955 kHz, 1700 CET (1600 UTC), repeat 2300 CET (2200 UTC)
Be advised that in January, our programs started several minutes late during the first transmission, but they did then air in full. Hopefully that won’t recur in February, but if it does, don’t touch that dial!
