Hi to all our SWLing Post friends. Here’s this week’s Imaginary Stations schedule for your shortwave radio/SDR listening pleasure.

On Wednesday 14th October 2026, at 0200 hrs UTC on 9395 kHz we have a new episode of WHFM: Herman’s Radio & Record Room on WRMI this week, with vintage tunes & even old-time radio shows from the 1930’s through the 1960’s.

Later that day at 1800 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz via Shortwave Gold to Europe and beyond, we’re jamming out with Skybird Jams, lots of extended jazz and rock tunes. Challenge your attention span!

And at the weekend, on Saturday 17th October at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 18th October at 1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz via Shortwave Gold, we debut TV on the Radio.

Yes it can be done, and our Imaginary Engineers will demonstrate exactly how during the broadcast. Just kidding! Tune in for a surprising mix of music from TV shows across the decades.

Hi to all our SWLing Post friends. Here’s this week’s Imaginary Stations schedule for your shortwave radio/SDR listening pleasure.

On Wednesday 30th September 2026, at 0200 hrs UTC on 9395 kHz we bring you WHFM Herman’s Radio & Record Room via WRM I. The show returns to the airwaves with new episodes featuring mid-century music from all genres from the 1930s right through to the 1960s.

Later that day at 1800 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz via Shortwave Gold, tune in for more Skybird Jams. Imaginary Stations brings you an encore presentation of the show featuring music to challenge your attention span!

We present the second program of classical(ish) tunes via CLSC. Be forewarned – it might not appeal to classical music purists, but we will continue experimenting with CLSC until we get it right! Or wrong.

An antidote to the heatwave

Hi to all SWLing Post community. Here’s what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to the shortwaves this week.

On Wednesday 15th July 2026, at 0200 hrs UTC on 9395 kHz on WRM I we have WHFM – Herman’s Radio and Record Room. This is another show in a series of programmes by DJ Frederick Moe in memory of his father Herman (1919-2001) and features mid-century sounds including country, jazz, folk and easy listening.

Later, that day at 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz via Shortwave Gold, we bring you the repeat of Skybird Jams from last week. The show is entitled “Music to increase your attention span” with DJ Frederick and mixes from Justin Patrick Moore and One Deck Pete. In other words, they’ll be extended tunes (we’re talking over 7 minutes here) and ‘jam bands’ on your shortwave dial on a Wednesday evening. Tune in and enjoy the sound of even more Skybird Jams.

While on Saturday 18th July at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 19th July at 1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz, we have another episode of the show called Wave. This show is an antidote to the other wave we’re experiencing here at the the moment (the heatwave!) so expect chilled out tunes, sounds from the shade, cool breeze classics and stone cold anthems! Tune in and let the radio lower the temperature a good few degrees at your location.
