A shortwave mystery on the 45th Parallel

Good day all SWLing Post community far and wide! FastRadioBurst 23 here with what Imaginary Stations will be bringing you this week for your shortwave listening pleasure.

On Saturday 1st January February 2025 at 1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and also on Sunday 2nd February 2025 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz via Shortwave Gold we’ll be bringing you WMMR, another show where the listener has to guess what the theme is. Tune in and let us know what you think it is. It could be anything from dreams, the bus stops or apple orchards but we are not giving away any clues, you will have to decide.

On Wednesday 5th February 2025 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we have our yearly 45th Parallel Midwinter broadcast. As it says on the special press release direct from the Imaginary Stations HQ in special gold print: “Enjoy a unique programme of music and messages for anyone who lives on, above or below the 45th parallel”. It will be great so do listen in!

This is the 45th Parallel calling again

Apologies for last week’s non-appearance on 9395 Khz, looks like WRMI was down all evening on that frequency. Fingers crossed the Imaginary Stations 45th Parallel Midwinter Broadcast will now be on this Sunday 19th February 2023 on 9395 kHz at 2300 hrs UTC. We promise there will be a good bit of circular latitude fun and some fine forty fives played throughout the show. We’d love you to join us this time. Fastradioburst23
