KMRT back on those airwaves of ours

Hello all shortwave listeners and SWLing community. FastRadioBurst 23 here with news of the Imaginary Stations radio shows this week. This Sunday October 6th 2024 there’s a return to the supermarket shelves with KMRT via the services of Shortwave Gold at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz (night shelf stackers workload permitting).

Plus on Wednesday October 9th 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ve another episode of KMRT via WRMI for your listening pleasure.

Both these programmes are part of the Supermarkets on Shortwave 2024 broadcasts. Expect nearing their sell by date and marked down classics, a heart warming song from The KMRT Trainee Managers Choir called “The customer is always right”, some shopping trolley sing-a-longs, a look at supermarket radio from around the world and a roving reporter hidden in a stack of Teddy Bears ready to jump out at a unsuspecting member of the public (*subject to availability and while stocks last of course). Here’s our trailer, happy shopping!

We are looking for some financial help to cover our production and transmission costs for our shows on shortwave so here’s our fundraising video below. We’d love to keep our show on the air well into the new year and we are looking for donations (no matter how small as everything helps) to keep our eclectic shows bouncing off that ionosphere. Remember, radio connects us all!

Using your imagination

Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know that we haven’t a clue what the Imaginary Stations crew will be bringing to you via the shortwaves on Sunday 8th September 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz via Shortwave Gold.

There’s a good possibility it’s another episode of WMMR – Mystery Mix Radio where the listener is asked to work out what the theme of the show is. It could be about unripened tomatoes, traction engines throughout the ages or it could be philately. Who knows? The listener guesses and sends their suggestion to the address given on the show and the person who gets the closest gets a special eQSL. Tune in and see what you think.

Then on Wednesday 11th September 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz we’ll be bringing you another Shortwave Polka Party via WRMI. So dig out that Lederhosen get it to and back from the dry cleaners for the weekend, wash out your tankard and be prepared to polka around the sitting room. Why not invite the neighbours and get them to join in?
