September 1, 2019: Free Radio Skybird returns to channel292

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, “One Deck” Pete, who shares the following announcement:


DJ Frederick’s Free Radio Skybird returns to the shortwaves on Sunday September 1st 2019 via http://www.channel292.de/ on 6070 kHz at 1900 UTC (8pm UK time).

With a mixture of features and music, the hour transmission will include One Deck Pete’s “Soothing sound of shortwave”, Steve with Mini indie radio and Justin Patrick Moore from Sothismedias with another episode of the Radiophonic Laboratory.

Last month we had listeners in New Zealand, Northern Canada and Italy (QSL and soundclip here) to name but a few places. Come on, what’s better than listening to a radio broadcast with audio that has fading, co-channel interference and sounds like it had a journey via the ionosphere rather than something that’s been streamed in crisp dolby stereo? Who said shortwave radio is dead? #freeradioskybird #shortwavesnotdead #madtone

Free Radio Skybird returns August 4, 2019

I just received a message from DJ Frederick noting that Free Radio Skybird will “broadcast on 4 August @ 1900 UTC on 6070 kHz.”

Free Radio Skybird is “a shortwave radio show celebrating music & culture in the spirit of free radio.”

According to our friend, One Deck Pete, he’ll feature his “Soul on shortwave” and Justin Patrick Moore from Sothismedias will feature the first episode of his Radiophonic Laboratory.

Certainly, a show not to be missed as these radio personalities are all friends of the SWLing Post!

I highly recommend tuning in to Free Radio Skybird, then sending your reception reports to: [email protected]
