Texas Radio Shortwave turns six years old this Friday, November 28, and we’re celebrating in style. We’ve rerecorded our very first broadcast, this time with higher-quality versions of the original music and refreshed announcements.
Our inaugural show aired via North American pirate station Radio GaGa, back before we settled on a regular music format. It’s an eclectic mix—two Texas artists in the set, plus a grab-bag of songs we just liked. Artists include Gary P. Nunn, Tom Petty, Green Day, Jethro Tull, and The Specials.
Listen to Texas Radio Shortwave from Anywhere in the World
Texas Radio Shortwave broadcasts via ShortwaveRadio and Channel 292 in Germany. We know reception can sometimes be tricky outside Europe—but don’t worry, there’s an easy solution.
Use a free remote European receiver.
If your own radio can’t quite pick us up, tune in through one of these online software-defined radio (SDR) receivers:
• Weston-super-Mare, UK – Our favorite! The owner welcomes TRSW listeners.
• University of Twente, Netherlands – A reliable and popular choice.
For U.S. listeners:
You can often hear our late-night (UTC) Channel 292 broadcast on 9670 kHz using a receiver in rural Maryland, USA, hosted by N5RTC.
Reception reports welcome!
Bonus QSLs:
Veteran listeners may recall we missed a fourth-anniversary show in 2023. To make up for it, three listeners who report Thursday’s broadcast will be randomly selected to receive an Imaginary Fourth Anniversary QSL in addition to their sixth-anniversary card.
These three special cards will bring the total number of 2023 imaginary QSLs to five, out of almost 4,000 QSLs issued since we started.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone—and thanks for six great years of listening!
