Marconi Radio Int returns to the air

This message comes to you from Marconi Radio International (MRI) which, after an absence of more than 15 years, returned to the air on 15th August 2015. Although the signal was weak, the first three test broadcasts have been already heard in Bulgaria, Germany, Scotland and The Netherlands.

The next test broadcast is scheduled on 25th August 2015, from approximately 1700 to 2030 UTC. Our frequency is 11390 kHz and power in the region of 30 watts. Test broadcasts consist of non stop music and station identification announcements in Italian, English, Spanish and Catalan but it is possible that old programmes are aired, too

MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts are welcome!

We QSL 100%. Our E-mail address is: marconiradiointernational@gmail.com
