Dial S for Shortwave

Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s more about what the Imaginary Stations crew will be sending up to the ionosphere this week. On Saturday 25th October 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 26th October 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz, we’ll be bringing you a telephone tribute via the shortwaves called Skybird Telegraph & Telephone Co. 

There will be lots of phone related tunes, a shortwave first in a live on-air attempt of trying to break the world record of ripping two telephone directories at the same time and an interview with someone who used to say “thank you” to the speaking clock (*subject to availability and if our phone lines are working). Tune in and join us in a celebration of the “dog and bone” (as it’s known in cockney rhythming slang).

On Wednesday 29th October 2025 at 0200 UTC via WRMI  we bring you another Ancient Analogue Archive.  This is the show where we dig deep into forgotten music on archive.org). Expect all sorts of everything (and more).

More on Skybird Telegraph & Telephone Co. below:

Mysterious radio signals

Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s more about what the Imaginary Stations crew will be getting up to via those shortwaves this week on Saturday 11th October 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 12th October 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC (new time slot) on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz.

We can’t tell you anything about the theme of this show, but we can say it will be transmitted by Shortwave Gold. Listeners are encouraged to contact us and let us know what they think the theme is by tuning in and making a link with the tunes played and there will be a special e-QSL for the winner. Full details of how to contact us will be contained in the broadcast. Tune in and see if you can guess the theme.

On Wednesday 15th October 2025 at 0200 UTC via WRMI  we have an episode of Radio Ace. It’ll be full of everything radio related, and will there be any appearance from Flash Frisbone this time? Does he still exist? Has he changed his name? Or has he left the radio altogether and become a car mechanic? You’ll only know if you tune into Radio Ace.

Another trip forwards, sideways and backwards in (shortwave) time

Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s more about what the Imaginary Stations crew will be broadcasting via those shortwaves this week on Saturday 4th October 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 5th October 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC (new time slot) on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz.

It’ll be another trip in time travelling again (via the transmitters at Shortwave Gold) with KTAB – Time Anomaly Broadcasting (the second edition). They’ll be all sorts of great tunes from yesteryear so expect more snap, crackle and pop and even more scratchy 78rpm records and the odd Edison cylinder thrown in for good measure. So step forwards, sideways and backwards in time via that shortwave dial this weekend.

On Wednesday 8th October 2025 at 0200 UTC via WRMI  we have an episode of the Ancient Analogue Archive (where we dig deep into the forgotten music on archive.org). So more interesting musical business over the airwaves from Imaginary Stations.
