Greetings from
Italy!
Marconi Radio
International (MRI) began its shortwave transmissions on 4th
January 1986, with the aim of being a radio for DXers. That's why we have
planned a special 30th anniversary broadcast on the following days
and times:
3rd January
2016 from 08.00 to 16.00 UTC;
4th January
2026 from 13.00 to 16.00 UTC.
Our frequency
remains the same: 11390 kHz and power in the region of 30 watts. To mark this
milestone, we’ll broadcast a special programme in Italian with details on the
history of MRI and interviews with two well known DXers of Italy: Dario
Monferini and Roberto Scaglione.
Also our
playlist will have something special as only songs with the word "radio" in
their title will be played (the playlist includes also some little known tunes
like “Radio Tirana” by the Polish band Kult!).
But that is
not all. In addition to our weekly DX programme in English "Italian Shortwave
Panorama" and "Studio DX", produced and presented by Roberto Scaglione, we'll be
airing two vintage MRI programmes: a DX Show in English of 25th December 1991
hosted by a female speaker, as well as the edition nr. 6 of "Italian Wave", a
programme aired during 1986, which featured new Italian bands playing different
kinds of rock music.
As usual MRI
encourages reception reports from listeners. Audio clips (mp3-file) of our
broadcasts are welcome! We QSL 100% and of course a special 30th
anniversary QSL verification will be sent to acknowledge reports about
reception of above mentioned broadcasts.
Our e-mail
address is: marconiradiointernational@gmail.com but please don’t forget
to include your postal address as some lucky listeners will also receive a
printed QSL card.
Last but not
least, we need your help! If you use social networks, please post an
announcement on Facebook or send out a tweet the day before the broadcasts.
You can also forward this message to a friend. This should help increase our
potential audience.
We hope to
hear from a lot of shortwave listeners about these two special 30th anniversary
broadcasts.
Best
