We do love imaginary stations and Ohio!

Greetings all SWLing Post community, Imaginary Stations bring you WLIS (We Love Imaginary Stations 2) through the ether this week via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 25th January 2026 at 1200 hrs UTC. Then there’s the second transmission on Sunday 26th January 2026 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and (the new time of) 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz.

As the first programme a couple of weeks ago, the show is a homage to imaginary, fictitious or fabricated radio stations that have appeared in films, books and music. Use your shortwave radio or an online SDR to tune into radio stations that may or may not exist. It’s going to be an interesting show so tune in!

And on Wednesday 28th January 2026 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI we bring you OHIO. We’re talking about songs about Ohio. Could Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young be in there? Randy Newman? And REM? Who knows, you have to tune in and find out, but it will be a great show no matter what.

A first class service with some warmth

Greetings all SWLing Post community, Imaginary Stations bring you POST (The Shortwave Postal Service) through the ether this week via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 17th January 2026 at 1200 hrs UTC. Then there’s the second post on Sunday 18th January 2026 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and (the new time of) 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz.

We’ll be pushing the (audio) envelope and be playing songs about stamps, post masters, postmen and women, and the humble post-box in all its free-standing glory (unless it is mounted into a wall). So put the imaginary overstuffed mailbag on your shoulder and listen to some sorted and possibly redirected tunes by the power of shortwave.

And on Wednesday 21st January 2026 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI we bring you WARM. It may be cold where you are now, but we at Imaginary Stations will be sitting in front of a roaring fire dreaming about the change in the seasons and that magical time when the sun comes out again and playing some tunes with warmth to cheer you up. Tune in and listen to tunes that raise the temperature.

Imagination and strange cloud formations

Greetings all SWLing Post community, Imaginary Stations bring you WLIS (We love Imaginary Stations). It’s a homage to imaginary, fictitious or fabricated radio stations that have appeared in films, books and music. Remember Jimi Hendrix’s EXP, Wolfman Jack on XERB, Harry Chapin’s WOLD, the many shows on GTA and others?

The first show is via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 10th January 2026 at 1200 hrs UTC and then again on Sunday 11th January 2026 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and (the new time of) 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz.

Use your shortwave radio or an online SDR to tune into those radio stations that may or may not exist. If you love (fictional or non-fictional) radio, you’ll love our show!

And on Wednesday 14th January 2026 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI we bring you The Weather Channel, a programme which features the joys of meteorology. So have your weather vane wired up as your antenna and keep a look out for strange cloud formations while tuning into The Weather Channel.
