REMINDER TODAY: KSKO 89.5 McGrath, AK Christmas Special Show On WRMI Shortwave

SomeRadioGuy

SomeRadioGuy

Join me, Paul Walker, on WRMI Shortwave for a special LIVE broadcast being relayed from NPR/community radio station KSKO 89.5 McGrath, Alaska where I work as Program Director

It’ll take place Saturday December 25th 0400-0600UTC on 5850kHz to the east coast US and 7730kHz to the west coast US, Canada along with Hawaii, and the South Pacific (NZ, Aus, etc)

We don’t have QSL cards or anything but if you want confirmation of reception, keep the email short and sweet with the usual needed details and send me a note: [email protected]

(5850kHz has a pretty wide beam and despite being directed at Vancouver, it’s often quite audible in the eastern US. 7330kHz is beamed towards the US/Mexico border which affords 7730 better coverage of the Pacific Ocean region countries )
 
7730 is loud and clear in Mesa AZ. 5850 is weaker but still perfectly audible. This is on a Yaesu FT-450D into a 40 foot end-fed wire/9:1 unun that is in great need of being rebuilt.

The program sounds great, and you sound like you're having a lot of fun.

Yup, it's fun thats why I do it :)
 
I missed the show, but I did listen to your former workplace for a little bit yesterday, Hits 106 KLMI in Laramie. Great Xmas selection for their 106 Hours celebration.

I use both local time and UTC time when broadcatsing on Shortwave where the majority of users are in the US. Near the end of the local time day, UTC time becomes the next day
