Rebroadcast of Radio Igloo's listener show

 Hello friends of Radio Igloo

When we were transmitting our last show on June 26th the conditions were bad. Lots of thunder over Europe and a Chinese station made the reception difficult in many places.

We have asked our Broadcasting Engineer to rebroadcast the show. He has agreed to do it in the evening on Friday September 25th at 19.0 UTC (21.0 CEST) on 6290 kHz or on a free frequency nearby.

The intermission signal will be on a few minutes before program-start. It will be an opportunity to hear some of our listeners' voices and their choice of music.

Greetings from a melting igloo
The Radio Igloo team

Texas Radio Shortwave's schedule for rest of year

 

Texas Radio Shortwave, an American free radio station, has announced its program lineup for October  through December. It offers programs featuring music by Texas artists, except for some rebroadcasts of programs from its early days. The older programs are clearly identified during the broadcasts.

Programs will air on Channel 292 from Rohrbach, Germany with 10 kW of power. Frequencies and air times -- with one exception -- are 0200 UTC on 9670 kHz and 0900 UTC on 6070 kHz. The exception is Christmas Day, with broadcasts at 0200 UTC on 9670 kHz and 1900 UTC on 6070 kHz.

The line-up for the rest of 2020 looks like this:
October 17 - Ladies of Texas Music Special
November 21 - rebroadcast of Texas Radio Shortwave’s first program from 2019
December 19 - rebroadcast of the Pre-Christmas Music Special from 2019
December 25 - the Texas Christmas Music Special

Texas Radio Shortwave sends limited-edition commemorative electronic verifications to listeners sending correct, detailed reception reports. The email address is texasradiosw@gmail.com. Reception reports should include times, song titles, the text of announcements, a SINPO/SIO signal rating, information on the listener’s receiver and antenna, and comments on the program content. Listeners using a remote software-defined radio (SDR) should mention that. Audio clips are welcomed.

Listeners worldwide may tune to Texas Radio Shortwave broadcasts using an SDR like the one at the University of Twente in The Netherlands. The URL is http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/.

Texas Radio Shortwave sails in international waters off the South Texas coast. Its programs are broadcast regularly in Europe and occasionally in North America.

73 and Arrgghh.
Always be yourself.  Unless you can be a pirate.  Then always be a pirate.

Sailing into your ears from the Lone Star State

DXer Jouni has compiled a list of the shortwave and medium wave pirate stations he has managed to hear at his location in Finland during the past six months. He has found the number of shortwave stations has increased slightly while medium wave has fallen slightly. To see his results and the stations he has heard go to https://www.betajbk.com/id-s-3-8-2020/

He also updates his website with daily pirate logs so it is worth checking out.
