TEXAS RADIO SHORTWAVE ANNOUNCES 15770 KHZ TEST PROGRAMS TO EUROPE OVER WRMI, SATURDAYS IN JANUARY AT 1100 UTC

TRSW’s announced the program lineup for its programs for European listeners during January 2022:
01/08/22 TRSW Special: Test for Europe – The Yellow Rose of Texas
01/15/22 TRSW Special: Test for Europe – The Many Radio Voices of Dr. Tim
01/22/22 TRSW Special: Test for Europe – Songs About Texas #2 – The Lost Program
01/29/22 TRSW Special: Test for Europe – Coronavirus Program Re-creation.

The Yellow Rose of Texas features 23 versions of the iconic song that TRSW uses as its signature.
The Many Radio Voices of Dr. Tim is a tribute to the late German pirate radio operator.
Songs About Texas #2 – The Lost Program is a TRSW music program produced in early 2020 and promptly misplaced. It was just found.
Coronavirus Program Re-Creation was produced in early 2020 but not found in TRSW’s archive. Luckily the playlist was located, so the music’s the same.
Each program has its own distinctive eQSL, available for an accurate, detailed reception report to [email protected].

Dear FRS-Holland friend,

Our traditional December broadcast is just around the corner!
The broadcast will be on next Sunday December 19th. FRS-Holland will continue a long time tradition, ringing out the year.
It was in the early 1980s that we started with December XMas broadcasts. Only very few times in the past 41 years, FRS was absent in December.

It will be worth while tuning our way, so we invite you to join us next Sunday!
For detailed information surf to: http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/157-frs-seasonal-december-broadcast-2.html
Good listening next Sunday and Happy Holidays!

73s, Peter V. (on behalf of the FRS team)

Having produced this book for the past 24 years, we are very sorry to announce that WRTH 2022 will be the final edition of World Radio TV Handbook produced and published by WRTH Publications.
This has been an extremely difficult decision and was only made after a lot of thought and discussion.
We know that many people rely on WRTH and greatly enjoy getting the new edition every year.
We realise that this news will be disappointing for many people.
We wish to thank you all for your loyal support over the years.
Good DX and Happy Listening,
Nicholas Hardyman (WRTH Publisher)
and the WRTH Editorial team

TRSW RELAXES EQSL REQUIREMENTS DURING DECEMBER
Texas Radio Shortwave’s designed some great eQSLs for its holiday programs during December and wants to make it easier for listeners to receive them.
To that end, TRSW will not require that reports contain comments on the programs.
Reports will still need times and titles of songs, times of station IDs and announcements, and an SIO or SINPO rating. They should also include the listener’s receiver and antenna.
Reports should be sent to [email protected].

Cari amici, Radiocom, la compagnia che garantisce l’emissione dei programmi di Radio Romania International, ha annunciato il malfunzionamento del trasmettitore BD 300-1 di Ţigăneşti (vicino a Bucarest), che trasmette RRI.
Radiocom si sta sforzando per rimediare al malfunzionamento.
Sono interessate frequenze brevi per gli show RRI in rumeno (azimut New York, e il corriere rumeno, trasmesso domenica), inglese (azimut New York, San Francisco, Nairobi, Londra, Tokyo e in Australia), francese (azimut Paris, Africa centrale , Magreb), tedesco (azimut Berlino), spagnolo (azimut Madrid, Buenos Aires), russo (azimut Mosca, Novosibirsk), arabo (azimut magreb e Mashrek) e cinese (azimut Pechino).
D’altra parte, Radiocom ha annunciato di avere un guasto meccanico al trasmettitore di Săftica, BD 100-1, che ha colpito i programmi in italiano, serbo, ucraino e dialetto aromatico.
Il malfunzionamento è stato parzialmente riparato, ma non è possibile trasmettere i programmi con l’azimut a 30 gradi, Kiev, in ucraino.
Radiocom ha assicurato che si sforza per rimediare al guasto del trasmettitore di Saftica.
Vi terremo aggiornati sulla situazione e vi invitiamo a ricevere i programmi RRI sulle frequenze funzionali di Ţigăneşti (BD 300-2), Galbeni (ID 300-1 e ID 300-2), sul sito (incluso il demand), su SoundCloud, su applicazioni tramite TuneIn e via satellite.
