New Shortwave Radio Broadcast

[slip]

I have teamed up with WRMI, Radio Miami International, to start a new monthly Shortwave Radio broadcast.

I've been working on it for a while and tonight is the Premier Broadcast. It will be at 11pm Eastern Standard Time on
9455 kHz.

The name is VOSR International, The Voice of Shortwave Radio. It will be a light show talking about all things Shortwave Radio.

I finished the show up last week and it is all ready in the queue for broadcast tonight. It's not perfect but you have to start somewhere. Lol

If you can't tune in tonight, it will be Rebroadcast on Fridays on the same station and time until the next month's new broadcast.

Hope you can tune in. Aloha

I don't have the tech, but you can have a trivia question: What is the closest timeshare to Marconi Beach on Cape Cod?

Jeff, is there a theme to your broadcasts, or is it just dipping your toe in the SW arena? Hope it's a successful thing for you.

Waaay back in the day, I worked with the military's MARS radio system, coordinating with HAM radio operators back home to make phone calls for ship's crewmembers to their loved ones when we were overseas. It was pretty rewarding work that I enjoyed a lot.

Yep, the theme is Shortwave Radio. So Radios and equipment, Programming, anything Shortwave radio. It's a light show, great for wnyone unfamiliar with Shortwave.

I'll talk about Ham, Time and weather broadcasts.

Cool. I should have figured that exists. Doh. Way back in the day, (1987, 88, or 89 I'd guess) a college friend of mine started a company that did a website that allowed people to get (FM, I think it was, but maybe AM too) radio broadcasts from around the world. Well, great idea but it didn't take long before "traditional" media wanted that game and wasn't interested in licensing their site or buying their tech or any of that. Lawsuits ensued. ... He went back to McKinsey, wiser but not richer.

I just remembered. Before goign back to McKinsey, the same few guys, realizing that the Intellectual Property was the key, signed a deal with MLB to put baseball games on the www. It wasn't long before MLB screwed them over and THEN ... back to McKinsey.

On the technical side, a little rocky. For some reason the file stopped in their automated system and kept restarting with their automated system filling in with random music. They got it fixed and it was fine after that.

WRMI contacted me and everything should be good for the Rebroadcasts on Fridays at 11pm Eastern Standard Time on 9455 kHz.

Propagation wasn't the best last night and early on I wasn't able to receive it well here in Hawaii but things improved throughout the show and the last 15 minutes, it came in pretty well here in Hawaii.

I received communications from all over, Upstate New York, Chicago, Florida, New Jersey, Oregon, Oklahoma, Ontario and Indiana just to name a few.

I knew it wouldn't be flawless since my recording wasn't. Lol
As long as the kinks are out for the rebroadcasts, it should be good. So, I'll find out next Friday. There are no analytics to any of this so it's all on the communications I receive. So far all has been positive but I will know more on Friday with a rebroadcast without any glitches.

You don't need anything special for an internet radio. You just go to the website @slip put in post #4.
