It’s a drive-in shortwave show

Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to you via the shortwaves this week. On Sunday 1st September 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz we will be presenting Skybird Drive-in Radio via Shortwave Gold. We’ve got the matinee and evening spots booked for you so there’s no need to arrive early. Make yourself a tasty snack (hot dogs, tacos, ice cream, a burger or perhaps some popcorn?) and turn on the shortwave radio. Then imagine you’re in a cadillac, tilt your seat back and enjoy all sorts of cinema related tunes as you would in an outdoor experience (until you’re listening to the radio outdoors). Enjoy the evening’s programme!

Then on Wednesday 4th September 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ll be bringing you the Skybird Drive-in Radio experience to all our listeners at WRMI. Do please remember to replace speakers when you leave. Here’s our trailer!
