Libraries on the air on shortwave

Hello all shortwave listeners and SWLing Post community, FastRadioBurst 23 here with news of the Imaginary Stations radio shows this week. This Sunday October 13th 2024 there’s the return of The Shortwave Music Library with chief music librarian DJ Frederick behind the desk picking out some eclectic tunes from his record collection. Expect all sorts of musical goodies from across all genres. This show is brought to you via the services of Shortwave Gold at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then at 2000 UTC on 6160 kHz and 3975 kHz.

Then on Wednesday October 16th 2024 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz there’s Part 2 of Skybird Radio International (Instrumental Version) via WRMI for your listening pleasure. More musical flavours with no vocals from various countries of the world.

We are looking for some financial help to cover our production and transmission costs for our shows on shortwave so here’s our fundraising video below. We’d love to keep our show on the air well into the new year and we are looking for donations (no matter how small as everything helps) to keep our eclectic shows bouncing off that ionosphere. Remember, radio connects us all!

Transmitting through those short waves

Hi SWLing Post Community, FastRadioBurst 23 bringing you news of this week’s Imaginary Stations related broadcasts this Sunday 17th September 2023. At 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 & 6160 kHz we have DJ Frederick’s Shortwave Music Library where he picks out some choice classics and rarities not usually aired heard over the wireless. Expect all sorts of eclectic stuff.

Talking of wireless, at 2200 hrs UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI the Imaginary Stations crew bring you WTAB. A trip back in time where trebly voices and music flowed through horn type loudspeakers and when it got too loud a spare sock would dampen the sound. The days when radio stations always kept a box of rose thorns as back up needles for their gramophones too! Expect some old tunes from way back in the day!
