Texas Radio Shortwave announces February 2021 Programs to North America

Texas Radio Shortwave, broadcasting from somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, is pleased to announce the schedule of its February 2021 broadcasts to North America.

This month we feature music by Texas artists known as Country Music Outlaws because their music didn't follow the Nashville style of country.  Featured artists include Waylon Jennings, Gary Clark, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Mickey Newbury, and Scott H. Biram.

The first airing is via WRMI, 5950 kHz, at 0200 UTC on Sunday, February 7 (Saturday, February 6 in N. America).  The program is repeated each Sunday at the same time through month's end.

On February 28 at 0300 UTC (Saturday, February 27 in N. America), WBCQ will air the program on 6160 kHz.

There's a special limited edition eQSL for correct, detailed reception reports to texasradiosw@gmail.com.

GULF OF MEXICO, May 9, 2020 — Texas Radio Shortwave, an American free radio station, today announced three test broadcasts on May 16, 2020. The broadcasts will determine listenership and propagation feasibility on a newly activated frequency in the 75-meter shortwave broadcast band.

Channel 292 in Germany will transmit the hour-long broadcasts — at 0300 UTC, 1800 UTC, and 2100 UTC — on 3955 kHz with a transmitter power of 4 kW.

Texas Radio Shortwave will send a limited-edition commemorative electronic verification for correct, detailed reception reports. Reports should be sent to texasradiosw@gmail.com.

3955 kHz is part of the 75-meter amateur band in IARU Region 2 (consisting mostly of North and South America).

During May, propagation predictions for 0300 UTC show the strongest signal into the Eastern US and Canada, the Northern half of Africa, all of Europe, and portions of Eastern Asia. At 1800 UTC, the prediction is for the strongest signal in Europe and the Northern third of Africa. Strongest signal coverage for the 2100 UTC broadcast is predicted to be like 0300 UTC excluding North America. Listenable signals may be possible in other areas of the world.
