A flying mystery on shortwave

Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s what Imaginary Stations crew are putting out into the shortwaves next week. We’ve another “Guess what the theme is” with the Mystery Mix Radio show (WMMR) via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 29th November 2025 at 1200 hrs UTC and then again on Sunday 30th November 2025 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and 2200 on 3975 kHz.

As usual, it’s a show of an unknown theme that you the listener, will have to guess what it is. There’ll be a special e-QSL for the lucky winner, and no, we will not give any clues away (or is that a double bluff and we have given away a vital clue?) Tune in and have some fun guessing on shortwave.

On Wednesday 3rd December 2025 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI we bring you WFCR, the one and only Flying Carpet Radio. The show is an exotic journey through the skies on a flying carpet made from an assortment of carpet tiles and bits of (thrown out for the binman), old floor matting. It may not look like the best looking travelling device, but it doesn’t half work. So expect all sorts of exotic and worldly sounds, underlaid with the warmest vibes as ever.

Whatever the weather

Hi to all of the SWLing community worldwide. Imaginary Stations are at it again transmitting over those airwaves this week with a couple of programmes for your listening pleasure. The first is on Saturday 19th April 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and on Sunday 20th April 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz.

The programme (weather permitting of course), features the joys of meteorology. We have all our weather stations at the ready for our transmission that will bring you tunes about the weather, a bit of sunshine and rain and other atmospheric phenomena. So have your weathervane wired up as your antenna and keep a look out for strange cloud formations. If you love the weather, you’ll love The Weather Channel.

On Wednesday 23rd April 2025 at our new time of 0200 UTC via WRMI we hoist the sails on the pirate ship MV Skybird again and bring you another audio voyage in the Free Radio Skybird series. Tune in and enjoy some “Music, speech and atmospheric effects”.
