Hi SWLing Post community Fastradioburst23 here letting you know of an event to be aired live by the Imaginary Stations crew this Sunday 23rd April 2023 at 2200 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI.
The transmission will be coming live from the Skybird Supper Club Imaginary Lounge and they’ll be a free complimentary cocktail for every participant (subject to availability of course). Expect the finest lounge and exotica classics for your listening pleasure. Grab that silk dressing gown and cigarette holder (with no cigarette on the end) and enjoy.

Whether or not a radio is a joy to listen to, or apt for difficult DX is decided to a large part by the last IF filter stage. Most radios of the past didn’t come with many IF filters to begin with, their quality varied a lot and harsh compromises had to be made in multi-purpose radios. With the advent of digital filtering and inexpensive DSP portables, we got spoiled by a rich choice of selectivity settings that came with an idiosyncrasy I had to wrap my head around first, namely a shift in how some (digital) filters are labeled now.
Hi SWLing Post community Fastradioburst23 here letting you know of another journey in a westerly direction being made by the Imaginary Stations crew this Sunday 16th April 2023 at 2200 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI. Get your compass and shortwave radio out again and go WEST for a second time this Sunday.
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Paul Walker, who shares the following video of his open-air DX shack in McGrath, Alaska. Paul notes:
I got my iRig working and recorded audio of Rádio Nacional da Amazônia on 11780 kHz directly from the radio into my phone and it sounds really good with such a strong signal here in ALASKA. Take a listen….

Thanks for sharing this, Paul! That does sound amazing–like a local station!
You, sir, are a true DXer! Anyone who regularly braves frigid temps to chase far-flung DX is made of some incredibly tough stuff!
Thanks for sharing, Paul!
