Making waves (and jam)

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

On Wednesday 8th 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 on, that day (and repeated on July 15th) at 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz via Shortwave Gold, we bring you more Skybird Jams. 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 11th July at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 12th July at 1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz, we have the second episode of the show called Wave. Think summer, think BBQ’s, think stripey deck chairs and all things sunny! And think of the ionosphere enjoying the summer too.

Music is the universal shortwave language

Greetings as always to all the SWLing Post community, we are now ready to spill the beans on what we have to offer on the shortwave spectrum this week. Be ready for some space business and more about things that run on rails.

Firstly on Saturday 7th June 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 8th June 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold) we bring you the sounds of outer space with Starship Skybird.

Orbiting the ionosphere the skyship will bring you lots of intergalactic musical goodness, the sounds of distant planets, atmospherics and a whole lot more. Start the countdown to next weekend when you can strap yourself in for a trip of a lifetime. Tune in, make yourself a cosmic cocktail if that’s your thing and enjoy the sounds of space.

On Wednesday 11th May 2025 via WRMI at 0200 UTC we depart again on a “locomotive journey across the ionosphere” with another episode of CTRN. We are back on the rails to present an hour of train tunes, class rail timetabling tales and memories of train stations that once were. Please tune in, mind the doors and enjoy the ride. Please make sure you present your Railcard alongside your rail ticket if you are expecting a shortwave discount.

The unknown themed shortwave show

Greetings to all SWLing Post community from us all the Imaginary Stations crew. This week we have a bit of an on-air conundrum that needs to be solved.

On Saturday 31st May 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again for Sunday 1st June 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz (via the services of Shortwave Gold) we will bring you the newest episode of WMMR (Mystery Mix Radio) where we have a theme which we don’t give away and you, the listener tries to guess what it is from the music played.

Instructions on how to enter are on the show and the winner who guesses correctly wins a special e-QSL. Tune in and solve the mystery.

On Wednesday 4th May 2025 via WRMI at 0200 UTC we bring you another locomotive special called CTRN for all lovers of locomotive classics, (rock ‘n’) rolling stock and sounds to keep you on the right track. It’ll be a shortwave journey without needing tickets and one where you don’t need to keep your eyes out for inspectors issuing fines. We can’t guarantee a buffet trolley on this musical journey, so we ask shortwave passengers to provide your own just in case. We just ask that you don’t put your feet up on the seat opposite, please.

What’s the recipe today Jim?

A big hello to all the SWLing community. Imaginary Stations have a couple of great programmes going out on air this week. The first is on Saturday 29th March 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and also on Sunday 30th March 2025 at 0900/1300 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2000 UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz. It’s WMMR – Mystery Mix Radio and it’s one of those “Guess what the theme is?’ specials.

On Wednesday 2nd April 2025 at the new time of 0200 UTC via WRMI we bring you a meteorology special with The Weather Channel. Expect some areas of low and high pressure on the show, all sorts of weather related tunes and the odd isobar thrown in for good measure. Also if goes well they’ll be a live set from the “weather-rock” pioneers Cirrocumulus. So get that barometer and thermometer at the ready and keep an umbrella at hand just in case and tune in for some forecasting fun.
