Hello shortwave listeners! I have some exciting news about an upcoming weekly broadcast for listeners in Asia and beyond!
Beginning Monday the 11th of November, 2024 and continuing every Monday – my radio program will now be heard across the Asian Continent and beyond thanks to 250 kW of power from the transmitting facility in Issoudun, France.
Using their ALLISS Antenna, this broadcast will be beamed East from France, blanketing Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast asia and Australia!
The broadcast is 1 hour in length and the aim of this radio show is to provide good music and news commentary to listeners worldwide. Oftentimes, listener music requests are taken and played – and all are invited to participate.
Here is the broadcast schedule for this new airing:
Mondays 1530 UTC – 17810 kHz – Issoudun 250 kW – Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia, Australia
Reception reports (which will be verified with an E-QSL) and additional feedback are most welcome at [email protected]
