Shortwave with a bit of Soul

Hi to all SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to the ionosphere this weekend.

Thanks to the services of Shortwave Gold we have a few programmes this week coming. The first show is WWLS – “We Love Shortwave”. It’s a show all about what we all love, shortwave radio! Standby for sounds of the shortwave, music containing shortwave samples and a live debut of Twelve Mega Hurts, the ham radio choir from Cleveland (*subject to availability and atmospheric conditions).

The schedule for the show is on Saturday 25th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 26th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz. Get your (shortwave) set set, and tune in!

Then on Monday 27th April (and repeated on May 4th) at 20:00 UTC on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz, we have a new Monday evening slot with a special called “Skybird Soul on Shortwave”. Expect all sorts of great soul tunes from old to new, soul classics and lots of “one’s that got away”.

There’s an extra hour of WWLS – “We Love Shortwave” on WRMI on Wednesday 29th April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz. Same subject as the shows on Shortwave Gold but different content.

Bells and bargains on shortwave

Leave a reply

Greetings all SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations will be bringing to the airwaves this weekend. Thanks to the services of Shortwave Gold we have a broadcast of the great Radio Carillon. The first transmission is on Saturday 18th April at 1100 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and then again on Sunday 19th April at 0900/1300 UTC on 6160 kHz and 2000 hrs on 3975 kHz/6160 kHz.

Tune in and hopefully at the end of the hour your ears won’t be ringing but will have taken delight in listening to songs about bells, songs with bells and hopefully, some slow ballads played on “a pitched percussion instrument that is played with a keyboard and consists of at least 23 bells.” Tune in and enjoy a wonderful hour of ringing and singing on shortwave.

If you tune into WRMI on Wednesday 22nd April 2026 at 0200 UTC on 9395 kHz you’ll hear the only official supermarket music station on HF called KMRT. Expect bargains, Blue Light Specials, instore giveaways at 30 minutes past the hour and a load of tin cans without the labels on them which will be sold as: 4 mystery tins for the price of 1. (What’s inside? That’s between you and your can opener.)”* Tune in and enjoy the thrills and spills of the supermarket from the comfort of your own home!

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, Imaginary Stations bring you WLIS (We Love Imaginary Stations 2) through the ether this week via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 25th January 2026 at 1200 hrs UTC. Then there’s the second transmission on Sunday 26th January 2026 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and (the new time of) 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz.

As the first programme a couple of weeks ago, the show is a homage to imaginary, fictitious or fabricated radio stations that have appeared in films, books and music. Use your shortwave radio or an online SDR to tune into radio stations that may or may not exist. It’s going to be an interesting show so tune in!

And on Wednesday 28^th January 2026 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI we bring you OHIO. We’re talking about songs about Ohio. Could Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young be in there? Randy Newman? And REM? Who knows, you have to tune in and find out, but it will be a great show no matter what.

A first class service with some warmth

Leave a reply

Greetings all SWLing Post community, Imaginary Stations bring you POST (The Shortwave Postal Service) through the ether this week via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 17th January 2026 at 1200 hrs UTC. Then there’s the second post on Sunday 18th January 2026 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and (the new time of) 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz.

We’ll be pushing the (audio) envelope and be playing songs about stamps, post masters, postmen and women, and the humble post-box in all its free-standing glory (unless it is mounted into a wall). So put the imaginary overstuffed mailbag on your shoulder and listen to some sorted and possibly redirected tunes by the power of shortwave.

And on Wednesday 21st January 2026 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI we bring you WARM. It may be cold where you are now, but we at Imaginary Stations will be sitting in front of a roaring fire dreaming about the change in the seasons and that magical time when the sun comes out again and playing some tunes with warmth to cheer you up. Tune in and listen to tunes that raise the temperature.
