Ian Spots a Snoopy-Themed Shortwave Boombox at MOMA

Leave a reply

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Ian Millett, who writes:

On a recent visit to the New York Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), in the kids section of the Design Store, I spotted a retro boombox with AM, FM, and SW bands. MOMA sells the Snoopy-themed BX-85 Bluetooth Cassette Player Boombox, by Retrospekt, for $99 to non-members.

The cassette player’s door has a drawing of our favorite beagle Snoopy in his Joe Cool persona listening to a radio. Peanuts creator Charles Shulz drew a strip published on July 12, 1981, that has Snoopy listening to a “bark” show (sic) on a tabletop radio. We don’t know the coverage of that comic strip radio.

The bandspread on the Retrospekt boombox shows it covers Shortwave 8 to 16 MHz and FM 88 to 108 MHz. Interestingly, the bandspread shows AM coverage from 530 to 1600 kHz. Even the coverage is retro.

Pirate ships return to the shortwaves

2 Replies

Greetings all SWLing Post community, here’s what the Imaginary Stations crew are putting out into the Ionosphere next week. We love the Pirate Radio ships here at Imaginary Stations, so we have a tribute to them and to great lakes everywhere.

We have two shows in the Great Lakes Pirate Radio Ships series, the first via shortwaveradio.de on Saturday 6th December 2025 at 1200 hrs UTC and then again on Sunday 7th December 2025 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 3975 kHz and 6160 kHz and 2200 UTC on 3975 kHz.

We’re celebrating the spirit and sound of those old-time offshore stations, bringing the excitement of radio from the legendary Great Lakes straight to your shortwave receiver. Expect all sorts of tunes about large expanses of water, ships, the dropping of boat anchors and other nautical radio references. Tune in and enjoy!

We have the second instalment on Wednesday 10th December 2025 at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz via WRMI. Expect a different show in the same vein. Tune in and turn on.

For more information on all our shows, please write to us at [email protected] and check out our old shows at our Mixcloud page here.

Hi Thomas

As per the announcement on the SWLing Post, Radyo Pilipinas did indeed return on the air December 1 at 0200 hours UTC on the announced frequencies on 12020, 15640 and 17665 kHz. I was able to hear all three frequencies quite well using the LA6LU SDR in Thailand, and made this 11 minute recording of them near the beginning of their broadcast on 15640 kHz:
