Texas Radio Shortwave’s Christmas Programs

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Terry Colgan of Texas Radio Shortwave, who writes:

Here’s our December 25 program schedule featuring holiday music by Texas artists. The BIG NEWS is our 0300 UTC broadcast from Woofferton, UK, with 250 kW. Intended primarily for North American listeners, the high-power broadcast should provide good reception in other parts of the world.

We’ll offer different QSL designs for Channel 292 and Woofferton. Detailed reception reports should be emailed to [email protected].

Happy Holidays!

Best wishes and 73.

Hei alle sammen,

There’s going to be some big changes to our broadcast schedule starting this December and our Annual Report for 2021 full of insider statistics is being published. And we will be bringing you some amazing Christmas songs too!

Firstly our Annual Report has now been published here. This report contains details about the music we play, the running costs of RNEI and how we are making our decisions. If you want to help support us we have a Patreon here

We’d also love it if you could email us what your favourite song from 2021 was for the January “best of 2021” special!

Now on to the fun stuff, RNEI #24 is our December & Christmas show in one!
It will feature:

  • Fun Christmas music from Norway
  • Punchy Swedish Pop from Petra Marklund
  • Silent Night but it’s ABREU
  • Lea Heart helps it feel like Christmas
  • Julia-Maria, a small artist from Ireland, brings us a beautiful song
  • Órla Fallon brings us multilingual traditional Irish Christmas song
  • Our song of the month from a Danish newcomer, chosen by Karl from scandipop.co.uk

RNEI Christmas 2021 Target Map

We have a bonus broadcast from Channel 292 this month that is aimed at 332° targeting Northern Europe between Ireland and Finland and Southern Europe between Ukraine and Italy. This happens because there is some backbeam with these directional antennas so give them a go and see what happens!

Click here to view a clickable antenna pattern schedule at RNEI.org

If you miss the show you can always catch up on demand and, if you prefer to only hear our music, we have Spotify Playlists of each show usually published shortly after the first broadcast of the show!

We really hope you enjoy the show and look forward to receiving your feedback,
God jul alle sammen!
Roseanna
