Sand, Sea and Shortwave

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s our shows we’ve lined up for you this week.

We bring you SURF on Saturday 12th July 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 13th July 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold). As they say, “Let’s go surfing now, turn on your radio, that’s how, join us on the high frequent seas”. Join the dawn patrol (if it’s early morning where you are) and jump on your board and go surfing with the shortwave radio dial and you’ll be riding those (air)waves before you know it.

And we’ve got an episode of COOL on Wednesday 16th July 2025 at 0200 hrs UTC via WRMI. Think summer vibes galore and tunes to listen to whilst chilling on the beach. Towels, deckchairs and sunblock at the ready please!

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s what we have going up into the ionosphere and via skywave propagation this week.

Firstly we bring you the third instalment of Starship Skybird on Saturday 21st June 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 22nd June 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold).

Expect more sounds from across the cosmos, a big Houston style countdown when we start the show and music from DJs wearing space suits. It’s going to be one transmission full of atmosphere!

On Wednesday 25th June 2025 via WRMI at 0200 UTC we bring you WORK. We’ve just checked AI to find out what the concept of work is, and we’ve found out, “In general, work refers to any activity involving physical or mental effort, done to achieve a purpose or result.” Tune in on Wednesday when the manager isn’t looking and enjoy the show!

Orbiting outer space via shortwave

Leave a reply

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, we are off in orbit again on those shortwaves of ours, bringing you a couple of interesting shows to hopefully pique your imagination.

The first Imaginary Stations offering is on Saturday 14th June 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 15th June 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold) and it’s the second episode of Starship Skybird.

Like our first episode do expect more sounds from space, tunes from across the cosmos and if all goes well, we’ll have a reknowned astronomer on hand to give us a live commentary on what they can see in the night sky from the station’s roof (subject to weather and atmospheric conditions of course). Tune in that shortwave radio and join us reaching for the stars and beyond!

On Wednesday 18th June 2025 via WRMI at 0200 UTC we bring you some audio excitement with the Kearsarge Mountain Transmission Service, KMTS. Expect some strange and wonderful music and sounds from the radio spectrum.

Greetings as always to all the SWLing Post community, we are now ready to spill the beans on what we have to offer on the shortwave spectrum this week. Be ready for some space business and more about things that run on rails.

Firstly on Saturday 7th June 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 8th June 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold) we bring you the sounds of outer space with Starship Skybird.

Orbiting the ionosphere the skyship will bring you lots of intergalactic musical goodness, the sounds of distant planets, atmospherics and a whole lot more. Start the countdown to next weekend when you can strap yourself in for a trip of a lifetime. Tune in, make yourself a cosmic cocktail if that’s your thing and enjoy the sounds of space.

On Wednesday 11th May 2025 via WRMI at 0200 UTC we depart again on a “locomotive journey across the ionosphere” with another episode of CTRN. We are back on the rails to present an hour of train tunes, class rail timetabling tales and memories of train stations that once were. Please tune in, mind the doors and enjoy the ride. Please make sure you present your Railcard alongside your rail ticket if you are expecting a shortwave discount.

The unknown themed shortwave show

Leave a reply

Greetings to all SWLing Post community from us all the Imaginary Stations crew. This week we have a bit of an on-air conundrum that needs to be solved.

On Saturday 31st May 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again for Sunday 1st June 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold) we will bring you the newest episode of WMMR (Mystery Mix Radio) where we have a theme which we don’t give away and you, the listener tries to guess what it is from the music played.

Instructions on how to enter are on the show and the winner who guesses correctly wins a special e-QSL. Tune in and solve the mystery.

On Wednesday 4th May 2025 via WRMI at 0200 UTC we bring you another locomotive special called CTRN for all lovers of locomotive classics, (rock ‘n’) rolling stock and sounds to keep you on the right track. It’ll be a shortwave journey without needing tickets and one where you don’t need to keep your eyes out for inspectors issuing fines. We can’t guarantee a buffet trolley on this musical journey, so we ask shortwave passengers to provide your own just in case. We just ask that you don’t put your feet up on the seat opposite, please.
