Bogusman goes live

Hear the Bogusman live and liberated from the limitations of recording!

From now until some time well into 2018, Bogus will turn back time to the olden days, when he & the Ghoul would entertain, amuse and bemuse from a humble studio 'somewhere in England'.

There's nothing like broadcasting live, or hearing live radio!  Don't miss this rare opportunity!
Make 6450kHz part of your regular Free Radio scan.

Keep checking Bogusman's usual haunts, too!

Hopefully conditions will be better than last Sunday when he was on but I could hear nothing on the South West England SDR.

EMR off air for the forseeable future

Dear EMR Listeners,

Due to my cancer condition (non-Hodgkin Lymphoma) that was diagnosed in February 2017, I regret to tell you that EMR will be off air until further notice.

I hope to return EMR to the air at some point in 2018.

All the best from Tom Taylor

PS. More pages to our website will be added over the next few months while EMR is off air !

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EMR was one of first pirate stations I listened to when I first began shortwave listening. In 2002 the station switched to legal relays but remained a "free radio" station at heart. All the best Tom, I hope to hear EMR on the air again soon. Visit their website to find out more about the station.
