Disappointment for Radio Igloo

Last time we were on air with our Radio Igloo Show we received more than 60 reception-reports and
many audio clips. Many listeners also told us they appreciated our program with music of various kinds.

We were therefore inspired to make a new music-show and asked 11 of our most diligent listeners and reporters around the world to help us. We asked them to record and send us a short audio file introducing themselves and the song they chose.

Our disappointment was great when only one single listener sent us an audio file. One listener has promised, but not delivered. One listener told us he can not record an audio-clip. Two listeners have refused to help us. The rest have not responded at all.

With such a lack of interest in helping us, we have decided not to produce any more programs of this kind. Maybe we will shut down the business completely. There are many another things we can spend our time on.

We wish you all a nice corona-free summer

Skyline Radio Germany back on the air in 2020

IT'S ALWAYS ROCK'N'ROLL - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!

Shortwaveradio.de kindly gave us the fifth 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, six hours on May 30, 2020, the Saturday before Whitsun, 14.00 - 20.00 UTC would be a good time to give us a listen again.

Try the 75 and 49 metre band shortwave on 3975 and 6160 kHz! Let's keep fingers crossed that propagation is good again!

We received more than 40 reception reports again in December 2019 and we hope we can be as successful as then again! So don't hesitate to write in again.

It might be a good chance for you to grab our first brand-new 2020 eQSL-card design! Attention: This one is available as eQSL-card only!

For our listeners outside of Europe: please check the various webSDRs, and we will verify every correct reception report with our eQSL also.

We look forward to your reception reports, criticisms and commendations 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,
DJ Jan-Hendrik
