Greetings all SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations<\/strong> will be bringing to the airwaves this weekend. Thanks to the services of Shortwave Gold<\/span><\/strong><\/a> we have a broadcast of the great Radio Carillon<\/strong>.\u00a0The first transmission is on Saturday 18th April <\/strong>at 1100 hrs UTC<\/strong> on 6160 kHz <\/strong>and then again on Sunday 19th April<\/strong>\u00a0at 0900\/1300 UTC <\/strong>on 6160 kHz <\/strong>and 2000 hrs <\/strong>on 3975 kHz\/6160 kHz. <\/strong><\/p>\n

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.” <\/em>Tune in and enjoy a wonderful hour of ringing and singing on shortwave.<\/p>\n
