The Ionosphere’s a right old mystery

Hi it’s FastRadioBurst 23 here letting you know what the Imaginary Stations crew will be bringing to those shortwaves this week. On Sunday 23rd June 2024 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz they have another Name that theme show (WMMR) via Shortwave Gold. Like the last NTT show, it has a mystery theme running throughout and we ask our listeners to guess what that theme was, once the show is aired. There will be a special eQSL for the first correct winner. Tune in to find out more details on how to enter.

Then via WRMI on Wednesday 26th June 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz there’s another version of WMMR. This time it’s a mystery mix which will contain all sorts of eclectic tunes pulled out of DJ Frederick’s record collection but even we don’t know what the show will contain. One thing it will be is interesting. Tune in and enjoy. More on WMMR below:
