• Station: QSL from Radio Tumbril in the United Kingdom
• 
  Band: Shortwave
• 
  Date: February 25, 2022
• 
  About: Brice Avery,owner and producer of Tumbril writes "Like many others I enjoy listening to both shortwave and classical music. Sadly, since the world has gone digital - and many large state funded stations have gone off the air or reduced their output - western classical music programmes have almost disappeared. So I decided to make a western classical music programme and find some transmitter time to broadcast it. Many thanks to the folks at Channel 292 in Europe, and WRMI in the USA for making it possible".

  Notes: Brice emailed a thoughtful note and QSL in just a few days. It costs them about $200.00 a month to broadcast their shows. Donations are needed and a small amount can make a big difference.
  I often listen to Radio Tumbril on WRMI in Okeechobee, Florida. Great classical music.

 

• Station: QSL from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the United Kingdom
• 
  Band: Shortwave
• 
  Date: About 1970
• 
  About: The BBC has fallen on hard times but in the 1970s was a staple of the short wave broadcast spectrum. They discontinued service to North America but can still be heard broadcasting in English to other parts of the world. I often listen to their Africa broadcast in English.
  The BBC was the first shortwave station I tuned in back in the late 1960s. I was surprised that my 1950s radio could pull in a station over 3,000 miles away. That marked the beginning of my 50+ year shortwave listening hobby.
