Radio Lavalamp reimagined

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s a couple of programmes we’ve lined up for you this week.

We bring you a double dose of Radio Lavalamp, inspired by a low powered community and internet radio station from Osaka, Japan now reimagined by Imaginary Stations. Expect some way out sounds from all genres from the groovy to ethereal.

We’ve got programme one on Saturday 28th June 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 20th 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).

And programme two of Radio Lavalamp on Wednesday 2nd July 2025 via WRMI. It’s going to be a groovy trip via the ionosphere so tune in and turn on as many times as you like next week.

Here’s a trailer of an old show of Radio Lavalamp to get you in the ethereal mood.

More rotations (per minute) around the earth

Greetings to all SWLing Post community, here’s what we have going up into the ionosphere and via skywave propagation this week.

Firstly we bring you the third instalment of Starship Skybird on Saturday 21st June 2025 at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 22nd 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).

Expect more sounds from across the cosmos, a big Houston style countdown when we start the show and music from DJs wearing space suits. It’s going to be one transmission full of atmosphere!

On Wednesday 25th June 2025 via WRMI  at 0200 UTC we bring you WORK. We’ve just checked AI to find out what the concept of work is, and we’ve found out, “In general, work refers to any activity involving physical or mental effort, done to achieve a purpose or result.” Tune in on Wednesday when the manager isn’t looking and enjoy the show!

Is that whistling I hear, my dear?

We at Imaginary Stations have another whistling and in gainful employment combination show coming out over the airwaves this weekend. It’s called WSTL—WORK 2 of course. It’s on Saturday 1st March 2025 at 1200 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and also on Sunday 2nd March 2025 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and at 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz brought to you via Shortwave Gold

We hope in your part of the world you will get a “clean as a whistle” signal so you can enjoy our show which is a cracker if we say so ourselves. So change into your overalls/coveralls or even an interview whistle (AKA whistle and flute in cockney rhyming slang), put on those eye and ear protectors and slip into some soft steel toe-capped boots and listen in at the alloted time and enjoy some fine tunes that will bring a smile to your face.

Then on Wednesday 5th March 2025 at 0300 UTC via WRMI we bring you WRBW the station that has the motto “Where rainbows connect us all”. Expect music containing all the colours of the rainbow and tunes from the colour swatch book of hits. If all goes well they’ll be an interview with Roy G. Biv himself. Tune in and enjoy the Kaleidoscopic vibes.
