Greetings to all SWLing Post community, Imaginary Stations have got a couple of treats for you this week.

There’s more surfboard madness with SURF 3 on Saturday 26th July 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 27th 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).

Propagation may be choppy of late but there will be waves you can jump on to enjoy another hour of tunes about wearing fullsuits, watching out for corduroy approaching (that’s not the trousers and jacket combo, we mean “a series of swells marching in from the horizon”) and hopping on those party waves. Tune in and get surfing without getting soaked to the skin.

And we’ve a new episode of the interesting The Shortwave Music Library on Wednesday 30th July 2025 at 0200 hrs UTC via WRMI. Chief music librarian DJ Frederick is behind the reception desk picking out some eclectic tunes from his collection. Expect all sorts of musical goodness from across all genres and we’d appreciated it if you could keep noise down to a minimum during the broadcast as it is a library after all.

Here’s more about the show.

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s this week’s shortwave transmissions from the Imaginary Stations crew.

Get that convertible out of the garage, load it up with your surfboard then leave it out on the drive.

Remember “Let’s go surfing now, turn on your radio, that’s how, join us on the high frequent seas” and hang loose!

And we’ve got another episode of COOL on Wednesday 23rd July 2025 at 0200 hrs UTC via WRMI. Think sunshine vibes and chilling out on a deserted beach somewhere with a shortwave wind up portable. Enjoy the summer with COOL!
