Next weekend – after 3 years of corona-related postponements – the Eifeler Radiotage will finally rise again.

This time there is no thematic focus like in 2019 (July: 70 years of UKW, November: 30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall), but we are ringing in the “big entertainment weekend”. Our team makes 50 hours of hand-picked radio – no voice tracking, no AI, no frills. Quite simply: radio broadcast.

The broadcasts are broadcast online, both in audio and video form at https://www.eifeler-radiotage.de/. Here you can already find the content and the broadcast schedule. All times as always in local Eifel kitchen time.
At the same time, the programs will also be broadcast on shortwave at the following times:

Friday:

4-6 p.m.: Shortwave 3985 kHz
6-9 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz
9 p.m. to midnight: Shortwave 3985 kHz

Saturday:

12:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.: Shortwave 3985 kHz
8 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz
6-9 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz
9 p.m. to midnight: Shortwave 3985 kHz

Sunday:

12:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.: Shortwave 3985 kHz
8 a.m. – 12 p.m.: Shortwave 6005 kHz

A simulcast also takes place in the popEXPRESS program on DAB channel 12A in Bad Kreuznach and around.

Visits to the bunker are possible as part of a guided tour: On May 12th and 13th there are the regular tours at 4 p.m., for groups of 10 or more people there is also the possibility to request individual tours: https://www.ausweichsitz-nrw .de/veranstaltungen/fuehrungen/bunkerpur

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Gérard Koopal, who writes:

Dear Thomas,

Just received the following message from CRI’s German language service.

They will stop their German language on shortwave from August 31, 2021.

The only way to listen to their German presence will be via the Internet. Sorry that they made this decision since i listened to them on a regular basis. The internet is no substitute for shortwave!

Original announcement in German:

Liebe Radiofreunde,

Return of “radio six international” to shortwave June 6, 2020

Leave a reply

(Source: radio six international via Gérard Koopal)

Shortwave broadcast on June 6th

After an absence of five years, Scottish station radio six international returns to the HF bands to mark the outlet’s 57th anniversary.

Saturday Sounds with Tony Currie will air from 22:00 to 24:00 UTC on 6,070kHz (49.39m) via Channel 292’s 10kW transmitter in Germany. The programme will largely feature independent and unsigned music from around the world. QSL cards will be issued on receipt of either one Euro of one US dollar for return postage, with Reception Reports requested to be sent to Radio Six International, 21 Sherbrooke Avenue, Glasgow G41 4HF, Scotland. E-QSLs will happily be sent free of charge.

Launched in 1963 as an afternoon’s entertainment by a group of primary school children, it never went away and after various incarnations – including a spell as Europe’s first commercial cable radio network in the 1980s – the station has been webcasting round the clock for the past twenty years.

For a time, the station maintained a daily shortwave presence from 2004, using the facilities of both IRRS and WBCQ, switching to weekly transmissions from Ulbroka, Latvia in 2005 and daily programmes on medium wave and satellite via RTI in Tatras, Slovakia.

In 2008 the various transmissions were ended to concentrate on the internet service and the provision of syndicated programming around the world. 58 stations now take some or all of our output, with 9 hours a week simulcast on FM in New Zealand and 4 hours on FM in Taiwan.

Our broadcast on June 6th is currently on one-off; however we are considering a more regular return to the HF bands in the future.

Note: Radio Six International is an internet station at www.radiosix.com with audited listeners in 200 countries worldwide. It’s been webcasting since 2000, and syndicates up to 9 hours a week of programmes to its affiliate network of 58 AM, FM and DAB Digital stations around the world.
