Radio Marconi Int to celebrate 30th anniversary with special broadcast

Marconi Radio International (MRI) began its shortwave transmissions on 4th   January 1986, with the aim of being a radio for DXers. That's why we have planned a special 30th anniversary broadcast on the following days and times:

3rd January 2016 from 07.00 to 16.00 UTC;
4th January 2026 from 13.00 to 16.00 UTC.

Our frequency remains the same: 11390 kHz and power in the region of 30 watts. To mark this milestone, we’ll broadcast a special programme in Italian with details on the history of MRI and interviews with two well known DXers of Italy: Dario Monferini and Roberto Scaglione.

Also our playlist will have something special as only songs with the word "radio" in their title will be played (the playlist  includes also some little known tunes like “Radio Tirana” by the Polish band Kult!).

But that is not all. In addition to our weekly DX programme in English "Italian Shortwave Panorama" and "Studio DX", produced and presented by Roberto Scaglione, we'll be airing  two vintage MRI programmes:  a DX Show in English of 25th December 1991 hosted by a female speaker, as well as the edition nr. 6  of "Italian Wave", a programme aired during  1986, which featured new Italian bands playing different kinds of rock music.

As usual MRI encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our broadcasts  are welcome! We QSL 100% and of course a special 30th anniversary QSL verification will be sent to acknowledge reports about reception of above mentioned broadcasts.

Our e-mail address is: marconiradiointernational@gmail.com but please don’t forget to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will also receive a printed QSL card.

Last but not least,  we need your help! If you use social networks, please post an announcement on Facebook  or send out a tweet the day  before the broadcasts.   You can also forward this message to a friend. This should help increase our  potential audience.

We hope to hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about these two special  30th anniversary broadcasts.

Medium wave pirate RKNW to close down

The UK's only regular MW Pirate Station will be closing after our Xmas Day & Boxing Day transmission on 1521Khz (197m) to SW London and surrounding areas.

After 4 years of regular weekly broadcasting Sundays 10-2pm and Bank Holidays, it is with deep regret that because MW listening holds no attraction anymore, we have decided to pull the plug.

You can join us on 1521 Xmas Day 10am - 3pm or online at www.beam.to/rknw or Playstore App (RKNW)

Final special line-up
10 am. Andy Walker (Promo 45's) 
Midday. Andy Peters (Guess The Keyword) 
1pm. Chris Ise (The German Geezer Show) 
2pm. Stewart Ross (The Ross Meister Show)

There is some other medium wave pirate activity around the UK this Christmas:
Merseyland Alternative Radio is broadcasting to Merseyside, North West England and North Wales until January 3 on 87.5 & 105 FM and online www.mar.me.uk

Phaser Radio is broadcasting on 1512 kHz to the London area. Also online at www.phaserradio.com
