Dynamic Map of Broadcasters Currently on the Air
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Stefano, who writes:
Hi Thomas,
I just wanted to share a small project I created today that I thought might be interesting for your readers. I put together a webpage where you can see broadcast radio stations currently on air displayed on a world map.
It’s based on two frequency databases: the EiBi and Aoki lists. I also keep these databases updated, since they are the same ones used for the data updates of SWList.

Here’s also a page from my blog where I describe the project:

Thanks, and keep up the great work!

What a cool map, Stefano! Thank you for sharing this with the wider SWL community.

Does (shortwave) time really exist?
Greetings all SWLing Post community. This weekend Imaginary Stations bring you a show all about the wonders of time called CLOK. The first transmission is on Saturday 21st March at 1200 hrs UTC on 3975/6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 22nd March at 1000/1400 UTC on 3975/6160 kHz and 2100 hrs on 3975 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold).
We’re not winding you up, but we love passing the time playing with those shortwaves here at Imaginary Stations. During the 3600 second programme you’ll hears songs about wristwatches, stop watches, battery operated time machines and those classic cuckoo clocks. They’ll be a trailor of that classic film “The Watchmakers of Wisconsin” and if all goes well, a performance of the first ever alarm clock orchestra. So make sure your time-piece is set correctly and tune into the sound of the CLOK.
And on WRMI on Wednesday 25th March 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz it’ll be time for another episode of CLOK. Tune in for more timely classics!
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.

Is Nasional FM on Shortwave Full-Time?
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who writes:
Hi Thomas
Regarding a post on the WRTH Facebook page from December 17, 2025, there was a report that “Nasional FM” was testing a new transmitter in Kajang, near Kuala Lumpur. It seems I heard them last night around 0200 hours UTC using my friend’s Kiwi SDR in northern Thailand. I’ve attached a brief recording of their transmission in Malaysian.
Wonder if they are on the air full-time now?
