Empire Radio to repeat broadcast This Sunday (30th September) the 40th anniversary Empire Radio
programmes will be repeated on short wave.
Join the original 1978 team of Keith Rogers, Chris Cooper and Albert Hall for an entertaining mix of music and comedy. We'll be looking back, over 40 years, but certainly not stuck in the past.
The most likely frequency is 5825 KHz, with 5800 Khz being an alternative. Of course, these days it is possible to listen to short wave on the internet, via a WebSDR, such as the one at the University of Twente in The Netherlands, which I'll try and tune to myself: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
The Empire will kick off at 0800 GMT and run until 1300. Programmes will then be repeated 1400-1800. We hope you will be able to tune in, and enjoy our brand of broadcasting lunacy!"
In a truly odd coincidence, it will also be the 40th anniversary of my first date with the Mrs.

Congratulations on the anniversary.
There's not a hyperlink back to the original post (it's underscored by not linked). Do we know which transmitter is beaming this?

Thanks. Looks as if it's intended for the UK. I'll need some blessings from the propagation gods to catch it, but I'll give it a try.

or perhaps the University of Twente SDR?

Not at that hour. I'll be asleep, so the SDR will have to see what's making it from Europe. Answer is usually "not much," particularly since it will be daylight there when this is happening, but sometimes things happen.
