[Tony_Pavick]

Hi all

I am, Tony, DJ of the show Pop Shop Radio, heard on Channel 292, Shortwave Gold and WRMI.

Next week, in honour of Canada Day, we have some special shows going out. In addition to our regular schedule, we will have:

As with our regular shows there will be a shortwave radiogram image at minute 55

In addition to a special Canada Day eQSL, the first 25 reports will get a special gift, a card and a sticker. Apologies in advance if it takes me a few weeks to get them out as I just had surgery on my hand.

Now you might ask, why why I'm doing DRM  {0300 UT 2 July 11960 85 kw} from Woofferton to N. America when there are no real DRM ready receivers in that area. My goal is to give listeners there a chance to experience DRM using their SDRs or remote SDRs. Let's see how it goes, shall we?

You might also ask, what is Pop Shop Radio?
At Pop Shop Radio we go around the world to bring you great stuff from all over. We play a whole variety of pop music, such as records from the 1960s and 1970s that were played on Top-40 radio stations in not only in North America but also on offshore radio and stations like Radio Luxembourg. To make it fun, we also include stuff that didn't make the Top 10. We like to show that music doesn't have to be in English to be great. Stopping off in places like Sweden, Finland, the Czech and Slovak Republics, Germany, France, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand we find cool records for you to groove to! We mix it all in the style of Top-40 radio of the 1960s and 1970s with jingles and real records played by a real DJ. We are everything that the boring FM corporate stations that have no personality and say they play the best variety are not. Last, but not least, Pop Shop Radio is made in the town of Hope in (super, natural) British Columbia in Canada. We are Canada's international voice to the world.

We will be celebrating 5 years on the air on 9 September!

Our regular schedule is

0100 UT Monday (9 PM ET Sunday) 5950 khz
0300 UT Monday (8 PM PT Sunday) 9395 khz (temporary)
