New show from Radio Northern Europe Int

Hello everyone,

This is a first attempt at mailing lists, crossed fingers it works!
The latest announcement and schedule for RNEI show #3 is out, we're doing some experimental things including broadcasting in Comb Stereo this month and we hope you enjoy them :)

RNEI #3 features 30 minutes of our favourite music from all over Northern Europe; Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark and Iceland this show. I’ve really enjoyed choosing the music and putting it all together, I really hope you enjoy listening to it.

We will also have the playlist sent in MFSK32 embedded into the final song, very similar to show #1 (we’ve worked extra hard to make it as hidden as possible which was a massive challenge this time, it’s in 2 parts during the final song with an RxID at the start of the final song).

Just like last month, TIAMS (This Is A Music Show) has been kind enough to join forces and make us a 30 minute express version of his show which I have loved listening to and I’m sure you will love it too!

https://rnei.org/2020/03/30/radio-northern-europe-international-3-tiaems-april-2020-annoucement/

Wishing you all the best and hoping you can receive and enjoy this month's show.
