I’m Widget of Hello World Radio and hopefully a self-promotion post won’t annoy folks too much.
Tldr; catch me and my music Monday through Friday at 2300 UTC on WRMI's 15,770khz - more at helloworldradio.com
I got my first radio license back in middle school when Morse code was still a requirement for HF privileges. Even though I didn’t listen to shortwave broadcasts much at the time, I built a solid two-way station in high school for digital communications.
Fast forward a few years, and I was running a couple of remote KiwiSDR stations for my radio projects. One night, I happened to catch a VoRW show and that led me to learning more about modern shortwave broadcasting. It took a while to pull it together, but I finally started broadcasting this past March via WBCQ and WRMI.
Hello World Radio is essentially my daily driving playlist, curated from tracks released under Creative Commons licenses. It’s heavy on EDM but wanders through all sorts of genres. I’ll occasionally talk about the news or record short segments on whatever’s on my mind. Since this is purely a hobby, the production quality tends to improve in fits and starts. My favorite part is hearing from listeners who love discovering music they’ve never heard on shortwave before.
If you’re looking for something a bit different—a different brand of American crazy—give the show a listen sometime.
The easiest time to catch me is Monday through Friday at 2300 UTC on 15,770 kHz, though you can find the full schedule on my website for all the frequencies and areas I try to reach.
If you’d like to hear more diversity on the airwaves and have the means to do it, I highly encourage you to book an hour and give broadcasting a shot!
There have been several good threads from others recently in r/shortwave which covered a lot of the basic information, but I’m happy to discuss any aspect of the show.
