Shelfmarks and shortwave

Greetings all SWLing Post community. Imaginary Stations bring you a couple of new episodes of The Shortwave Music Library. The first is on Saturday 14th March at 1200 hrs UTC on 3975/6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 15th March at 1000/1400 UTC on 3975/6160 kHz and 2100 hrs on 3975 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold). Chief librarians DJ Frederick and DJ Marc sort through those shortwave shelves (and the dusty store cupboard) and pick out some wonderful music. Tune in your radio or online SDR next weekend and see what they pull out from the catalogues.

Both librarians will again be on late duty via WRMI for the second programme on Wednesday 18^th March 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz. They will be on hand to do a deeper dive into their databases and those fiddly microfiche machines that needs a steady hand. Listen in again and renew your interest in the library. We here at Imaginary Stations recommend both shows without reservation!

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.

Radio ELWA Now Streaming Online

Leave a reply

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who notes:

Dear Thomas and friends of SWLing Post community,

As you all know, listening to Radio ELWA from Monrovia on shortwave has never been easy for me here in southern and southeastern Brazil, due to the transmitter power and propagation. The only way to listen to this station was via shortwave… until now!

The station director has just informed me that Radio ELWA can now be heard via streaming!

Dan Notes Voice of America’s Return to Shortwave

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Dan Greenall, who shared the following message on March 1, 2026 [note the delay in posting Dan’s message due to recent site maintenance]:

Hi Thomas

This evening, I came across a sound on shortwave that I had not heard in a long time. It was the familiar tune of Yankee Doodle being played by the Voice of America on 7500 kHz just prior to 2200 hours UTC. According to both shortwave.live and the Short-wave Fan Facebook page, this was a half-hour program in Mandarin being broadcast through the VOA facility in Tinang, Philippines. They apparently are using a transmitter in Kuwait as well for a few other programs. Though none of the actual programs are in English, the ID at the beginning and end of the transmission are. Follow this link for their schedule.

Here are two brief recordings, one of their sign on at 2200, and the other at sign off at 2230 hours UTC. They were made using Kiwi SDR’s located in Europe.

(Update March 3, 2026) — In addition to the original log, I just heard the VOA signing on at 1530 UTC on 9310 kHz in Korean using a Kiwi SDR in Thailand. Same intro with the retro Yankee Doodle music and English ID.

Has anyone else been tuning into these?

Sunny Jim’s Trance Journey: March 2026 Program Schedule

Leave a reply

Once again it’s time for another SJTJ programme!

Same old formula – a mix of (mostly) current melodic electronic based music, with at least one song you’ll likely recognise from 30 years ago & one new song from an extremely well known artist we’ve all known for over 50 years!

As always – on shortwave thanks to our wonderful SW relay partners!

Also available online – crackle free – at – www.sjtjradio.com

Happy listening!
