A view from the front door

Big thanks to Rich R in the Lake District for sending us a photo of Skiddaw (3054 feet) The snow has come a couple of weeks later than usual but it is there now (remember the last post from Rich here). Rich was saying it is quite a labourious walk of 3 hours to get to the peak with not many twists and turns but from the top you can see as far as Scotland across the Solway, The Isle of Man to the South and Northern Ireland to the west. Now that is one view!

And it looks like from the doorstep they get good night skies too. The top night picture has a tinge of the northern lights. Cheers for those Rich.

Shortwave today (and yesterday)

At the end of this/start of next week we have a few transmissions of Skybird Radio International. The first is via Shortwave Gold on Sunday 12th November 2023 at 1000/1400 hrs UTC on 6160 kHz and 2100 UTC on 3975 kHz is a special Peruvian edition so expect some wonderful music in a true South American style.

A few hours later in the early hours of Monday 13th November via the transmitters of WRMI we have a different episode of Skybird Radio International at 0300 UTC on 9395 kHz and then repeated at 0400 UTC on 9455 kHz. At 35 minutes in is a mix from One Deck Pete featuring tunes by Madtone, Huamansara, The Yamasukis, International Dub Ambassasadors, Wimeanacas Cambodian Band and Frank Gutowski Trio. Tune in chill out and listen to the sound of this world of ours.

And from the good old days of shortwave…
