New Mix Radio Int eQSL


New eQSL received from American pirate Mix Radio Int for a broadcast on Sunday on 12140U, heard via SDR in England. Many thanks!

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,
DJ Jan-Hendrik

Mystery of tango station on 6980 kHz

Recently a station has been heard on 6980 kHz playing tango music. Many DXers assumed it was Radio Tango Italia. But an email from the operator says it wasn't him.

"Dear friend, unfortunately I have to inform you that this is not my transmission regarding my Radio Tango Italia, plus I don't use this frequency, I sent from 6205 to 6300 KHz, currently I'm not in business, I think I'll resume experimental transmissions in a few months, if in your possibilities I kindly ask you if you will be able to inform other passionate friends by email, forum, blog, facebook etc. with regard,
Tony , Radio Tango Italia"

I wonder who is the tango fan on 6980 kHz?

World Music Radio forced to suspend shortwave service

In an announcement on their Facebook page, WMR has said: "In a completely unexpected move the Danish authorities (Energistyrelsen) has withdrawn the permission to use out of band short wave frequencies (on a non interference basis) for World Music Radio (WMR).

"This means that WMR will be ceasing operations on 5840 and 15805 kHz tomorrow (Sunday September 15th 2019) at 2200 UTC. WMR may return to shortwave – using frequencies inside the official SW bands – but this may take several months.

"Meanwhile WMR continues working on getting on the air on medium wave 927 kHz in Copenhagen.

"Thanks for listening to WMR on short wave for the past almost two years. Please keep listening via internet streaming at www.wmr.dk "

This will no doubt also hit another low powered Danish station, Radio OZ-Viola which uses 5825 kHz, but no announcement from them yet.

FRS Holland to repeat 39th anniversary broadcast this Sunday

Dear FRS Friends,

On Sunday (September 8th) FRS will repeat last Sunday's broadcast which suffered from very poor/ unstable propagation conditions. That means once again a start at 16:52 UTC/ 18:52 CEST.

Frequency: only 5810 kHz. It looks like higher freqs like 7700 suffer from very long skip nulling out reception in large parts of out target area. We hope for better/stronger reception but realize that the current conditions simply are (very) poor!

Sunday Sept. 8th  16:52- 21:00 UTC 5810 kHz ...FRS' 39th Anniversary featuring Jan, Bert, Dave, Peter & Mike. Tune in!

Have a good weekend,
73s  Peter V. (on behalf of the entire FRS Family).
