Skyline Radio Germany to celebrate 20 years on air

Shortwaveradio.de kindly gave us another possibility to be on air with some brand new shows via their transmitters in Northern Germany.

If you would like to try to catch our programmes, 6 hours on October 26th, 2019, Saturday before Halloween, 13.00 - 19.00 UTC would be a good time to give us a listen again.

Try the 75 metre band shortwave on 3975 kHz! Let's keep fingers crossed that propagation is good again!

We received more than 30 reception reports again in June and we hope we can beat this result again! So don't hesitate to write in again.

It might be a good chance for you to catch our very special and unique 1999 - 2019 anniversary eQSL-card! This is available as eQSL-card only!

We look forward to your reception reports and comments to: SKYLINE RADIO GERMANY, P.O.Box 2702, 6049 ZG Herten, The Netherlands or via e-mail to: skylineradiogermany@web.de

Have a great time with us and Good DX,
