Hi to all the SWLing Post community. Here’s news of what Imaginary Stations<\/strong> will be bringing to the airwaves this weekend.<\/p>\n

On Saturday 20th June <\/b>at 1100 hrs UTC<\/b> on 6160 kHz <\/b>and again on Sunday 21st June<\/b>\u00a0at 1300 hrs UTC <\/b>on 6160 kHz <\/b>and 2000 hrs UTC <\/b>on 3975 kHz\/6160 kHz<\/b> via Shortwave Gold<\/a> we bring you the sound of WAIR<\/strong> \u2013 Always Independent Radio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This episode is air based, so we’re talking songs about winged travel, windmills (of your mind) and possibly leaves falling off trees. We won\u2019t be playing songs that feature words that have the “air” sound in them like chair, stair and hair but then again we may. Tune in and enjoy the sound of some breezy based shortwave radio this weekend!<\/p>\n

And on Wednesday 24th<\/strong> June<\/strong> at 1800 UTC<\/strong> on 3975 kHz\/6160 kHz<\/strong> we bring you Skybird Jams<\/strong>. It’s “Music to increase your attention span” with DJ Frederick, in other words extended tunes in all genres (and yes, ‘jam bands’).<\/p>\n
