Is that whistling I hear, my dear?

We at Imaginary Stations have another whistling and in gainful employment combination show coming out over the airwaves this weekend. It’s called WSTL—WORK 2 of course. It’s on Saturday 1st March 2025 at 1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and also on Sunday 2nd March 2025 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz brought to you via Shortwave Gold

We hope in your part of the world you will get a “clean as a whistle” signal so you can enjoy our show which is a cracker if we say so ourselves. So change into your overalls/coveralls or even an interview whistle (AKA whistle and flute in cockney rhyming slang), put on those eye and ear protectors and slip into some soft steel toe-capped boots and listen in at the alloted time and enjoy some fine tunes that will bring a smile to your face.

Then on Wednesday 5th March 2025 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we bring you WRBW the station that has the motto “Where rainbows connect us all”. Expect music containing all the colours of the rainbow and tunes from the colour swatch book of hits. If all goes well they’ll be an interview with Roy G. Biv himself. Tune in and enjoy the Kaleidoscopic vibes.

New Test Transmissions from Texas Radio Shortwave – Special QSLs Available!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Terry Colgan of Texas Radio Shortwave, who writes:

TEXAS RADIO SHORTWAVE TEST BROADCASTS – MARCH 1-2 ON 6070 KHZ & 9670 KHZ

Listener Reports Needed!

In addition to our regular monthly programs, we’ll conduct test broadcasts to improve our reach. Listener reports are crucial in determining whether we should adjust our schedule for April and beyond.

Test Schedule:

6070 kHz – Europe

    • Saturday, March 1, at 1600 UTC
    • Sunday, March 2, at 1200 UTC

Purpose: We are considering replacing 3955 kHz due to severe audio interference from another transmitter at Channel 292. If 6070 kHz provides better reception, we’ll make the switch.

9670 kHz – North America

    • Sunday, March 2, at 2300 UTC

Purpose: We are considering replacing our early morning UTC transmissions with late-night ones if the latter provides better reception.

Listener Reports & Special QSL Cards

We’ll issue a unique verification for accurate reports on these test transmissions and our standard QSL for regular programming. We don’t know what the test QSL will look like, but we promise it will be a great addition to your collection!

To submit a report, listen for at least 20 minutes and email your reception details to texasradioshortwave@protonmail.com.

Your feedback is essential in shaping our future broadcasts. Thanks for tuning in and supporting Texas Radio Shortwave!

73.
