\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Kris Partidge, who notes that there’s a new shortwave radio station in: Radio Piko<\/a>! The station is run by a hobbyist and transmits music, old time radio shows, and interviews. The station uses fixed frequencies and announces broadcasts on the website a day before.<\/p>\n

Radio Piko even has a few test transmissions this weekend, per their website:<\/p>\n

May 25 & 26, 2024 TEST TRANSMISSIONS:
\n1500-1600 UTC 9770 (Norway, Denmark)
\n1800-1900 UTC 5980 (Finland)
\n1900-2000 UTC 3990 (Finland, Sweden, Estonia)<\/p>\n

Also, “Random tests on 3990, 5980 or 9770 [kHz]at random times.”<\/p>\n

For more info about Radio Piko, including the summer schedule, check out their website: https:\/\/radiopiko.fi\/<\/a> I recommend reading the FAQs.<\/p>\n

At 10 watts, this will be seriously weak DX for those living outside of Finland. I, for one, love<\/strong><\/em> the format of pre-1950s music and shows. I may have to listen via a nearby KiwiSDR!<\/p>\n

Note that this station only plans to be on the air until August 11, 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
