Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Gérard Koopal for tipping us to this event:

If you’re a radio lover, music fan, or just curious about broadcasting in an analog spirit, you’ll want to check out Eifeler Radiotage. The event is billed as “In 2½ Tagen um die Welt” (“Around the World in 2½ Days”) — a broadcast journey featuring vintage gear, vinyl, tape machines, and live music, without heavy reliance on digital tech. 

Details:

If you like slow radio, eclectic music, vintage broadcast flavors, or simply want a relaxing escape in sound, set aside time during the Eifeler Radiotage dates (see the October 2025 program) and tune in via shortwave, FM, or the livestream.

Eifeler Radiotage on Shortwave: May 12 – May 14, 2023

Next weekend – after 3 years of corona-related postponements – the Eifeler Radiotage will finally rise again.

This time there is no thematic focus like in 2019 (July: 70 years of UKW, November: 30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall), but we are ringing in the “big entertainment weekend”. Our team makes 50 hours of hand-picked radio – no voice tracking, no AI, no frills. Quite simply: radio broadcast.

The broadcasts are broadcast online, both in audio and video form at https://www.eifeler-radiotage.de/. Here you can already find the content and the broadcast schedule. All times as always in local Eifel kitchen time.
At the same time, the programs will also be broadcast on shortwave at the following times:

Friday:

4-6 p.m.: Shortwave 3985 kHz
6-9 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz
9 p.m. to midnight: Shortwave 3985 kHz

Saturday:

12:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.: Shortwave 3985 kHz
8 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz
6-9 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz
9 p.m. to midnight: Shortwave 3985 kHz

Sunday:

12:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.: Shortwave 3985 kHz
8 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz

A simulcast also takes place in the popEXPRESS program on DAB channel 12A in Bad Kreuznach and around.

Visits to the bunker are possible as part of a guided tour: On May 12th and 13th there are the regular tours at 4 p.m., for groups of 10 or more people there is also the possibility to request individual tours: https://www.ausweichsitz-nrw .de/veranstaltungen/fuehrungen/bunkerpur

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Gérard Koopal, who writes:

This might be interesting for your followers in Europe and especially for those living in or nearby Germany.

On the 9th and 10th of November, the Eifeler Radiotage are to start transmitting in German from a Cold War bunker in Germany. There is also a possibility to visit the location (Kall Krekel). Below is a link to their homepage where you can also find a few videos from the Cold War radio room which is still functional and in use.
