\"RFI-Logo-World-Large\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Mike who notes that Radio France International’s program, The Sound Kitchen<\/a><\/em>, is now available over shortwave radio.<\/p>\n

The Sound Kitchen<\/em> staff reported this news in the show notes of their latest episode, Pieces of Eight<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n

“Fabulous news! We have a shortwave frequency again! It\u2019s 13725 kHz, on the 22m band; you can hear us between 6.00 and 7.00 UT every day! We\u2019ve had reception reports from New Zealand, Japan, Bangladesh and the UK, and although the frequency is \u201caimed\u201d (or however that works) towards the African continent, give it a try! You never know!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fabulous news, indeed! Though–as they state–North America is not the target of this broadcast frequency and time, I will certainly be listening as night time openings on the 22M band are certainly possible. I imagine those of you in Africa, Asia and the Pacific can receive The Sound Kitchen<\/em> with relative ease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
