Good day to all SWLing Post Community, FastRadioBurst 23 from the Imaginary Stations crew here letting you know that this week we present WDWD – Off the Map Radio. It’ll be going out to Europe via the services of Shortwave Gold on Sunday 21st January 2024 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz. Think of large maps flapping in the wind whilst trekking out in the wilds and places far far away.
Then on early Monday 22nd January 2024 we have KTAB running with the theme “Yesterday’s music today” at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI. Step into the shortwave musical time machine and be transported back to a time when valves needed time to “warm up” and tune into some real vintage old-time classics on the old wireless set.
For more information on the shows please email [email protected] and check out our old shows here.
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Paul (KW1L), who writes:
The Maritime Radio Historical Society, in cooperation with our good friends at the Cipher History Museum, present a unique, over-the-air cryptographic challenge.
https://www.radiomarine.org/mrhs-events
On January 20 2024, KPH will transmit a coded message consisting of 5-digit groups. The message will be encrypted using typical Cold War numbers station cryptographic procedures. All KPH listeners are invited to try their hand at receiving and decrypting the message. Certificates will be awarded to those who successful decode the message. Additionally, a special certificate will be awarded to the first person to decode it.
Thank you, Paul!

Dear Thomas and SWLingPost Friends,
I’m Giuseppe Morlè iz0gzw,
Many friends have asked for the DICA wiring diagram after my recent post and demonstration.
I’m not a technician but a simple passionate listener and qrp’er… I made this video with a drawing that I hope will be useful to understand the details and how it works…
[Please note that this video is in Italian, but you can use YouTube Closed Captioning; it can even translate the subtitles into English or any other language.]
Thank you all.
