More shortwave surfing with COOL

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s this week’s shortwave transmissions from the Imaginary Stations crew.

There’s more “get on that board” madness with SURF 2 on Saturday 19th July 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 20th July 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold).

Get that convertible out of the garage, load it up with your surfboard then leave it out on the drive. Turn on your receiver indoors, make sure those (short)waves are active and enjoy an hour of the best surf related tunes. Remember “Let’s go surfing now, turn on your radio, that’s how, join us on the high frequent seas” and hang loose!

And we’ve got another episode of COOL on Wednesday 23rd July 2025 at 0200 hrs UTC via WRMI. Think sunshine vibes and chilling out on a deserted beach somewhere with a shortwave wind up portable. Enjoy the summer with COOL!

Here’s a trailer about riding the shortwave SURF to get you in the mood.

I’ll fight at the WTO, I’ll talk to my BRICS colleagues. Now, if there’s no way out, through discussion, face-to-face, we’ll establish reciprocity. If you impose a tax here, we’ll impose a tax there!…'”
