Downbeat, country music and a record room

Hi to all SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to those shortwave bands this week.

We have the fourth programme in the Downbeat on Shortwave series via Shortwave Gold, where guest DJs Jesse Yuen and One Deck Pete bring you two 15-minute downtempo mixes each over the hour-long show. Expect some ambient, dub and downtempo vibes to wind down to at the weekend. The schedule for the show is on Saturday 13th June at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 14th June at 1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz. Listening while horizontal is an option.

On Wednesday June 17th at 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz we bring you the repeat of last week’s Skybird Folk & Country Radio. If you’re into both those genres you are going to love this show if you didn’t catch it last week

Also on Wednesday 17th June 2026, at 0200 hrs UTC on 9395 kHz on WRM I we have WHFM – Herman’s Radio and Record Room. This is the third in a series of programmes recorded by DJ Frederick Moe in memory of his father Herman (1919-2001) and feature mid-century sounds including country, jazz, folk and easy listening.

Greetings all SWLing Post community. This weekend, Imaginary Stations brings you yet another episode of CLOK, a radio tribute to that popular concept that we call time. The first transmission is on Saturday 11th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 15th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold). Programme 3 features all sorts of time tributes, songs about cuckoo clocks, diver’s watches and if all goes to plan (and time is not an issue), a world exclusive, the debut of the band The Watchstraps live in the studio. Make sure to wind up your watch and check you are in the right time zone to enjoy this 60-minute show on shortwave.

If you tune into WRMI on Wednesday 15th April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz Imaginary Stations bring you a sonic salute to “The king of them all” with a programme called KING. King Records was founded by Syd Nathan in Cincinnati Ohio and featured Country & Western, Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, James Brown and lots more from 1943-1975 and it’s a wonderful tribute show.

Greetings all SWLing Post community. This weekend, Imaginary Stations brings you another episode of CLOK, a shortwave tribute to time (not to be confused with Thyme). The first transmission is on Saturday 4th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 5th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold). Tune into 60 minutes of songs that mention hours, minutes and seconds, ballads about watches, heartwarming tunes about clocking in machines and a lot more. Enjoying spending an hour with us on shortwave this coming 48 hours period we call a “weekend”.

If you tune into WRMI on Wednesday 8th April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz it’ll be the debut of Skybird Folk & Country Radio. If you like both those genres you are going to love this show. They’ll be a mixture of electric and acoustic tunes for your listening delight.
