Good morning/afternoon/evening to all SWLing Post community. FastRadioBurst 23 here in a dressing gown drinking a coffee as I’ve just woken up, but I am awake enough to let you know about what Imaginary Stations have coming to the shortwaves this coming week.

There’ll be a couple of episodes of a show called WREM which is all about that pastime/necessity called Sleep. The moniker can be also be translated as “Witnessing Rapid Eye Movement” or even as “Willderness Response Escape Monitor”. The show may even be Michael Stipe related too, who knows what dreams may envoke.

The first show is brought to you via the services of Shortwave Gold on Saturday November 2nd 2024 at 1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and on Sunday November 3rd 2024 at 1000/1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz.

Then on Wednesday November 6th 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz there’s WREM 2 via WRMI for more slumber inducing programming in the best way! Enjoy your hot sleepy beverage and then drop off with us!

Short recording from the Voice of Indonesia

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who writes:

This is a follow up to the SWLing Post article from last May informing about a frequency change at the Voice of Indonesia from 4750 to 4755 kHz.

My long time friend Ken (VE3HLS) has been retired and living in northern Thailand for several years now. He continues to enjoy his radio hobby from that location, and recently sent me a recording he made of the Voice of Indonesia on 4755 kHz:

He states:

“It’s not a vintage recording from back in the 70s. It’s from last night! I was tuning around and found the Voice of Indonesia booming in on 4755 kHz in English, no less!”

It reminded me of the good old days so I thought I would pass it along to share with the group.

Thank you Dan and Ken for sharing this recording!
