Here
are details of a one-off broadcast coming soon:
Showcase
292 will air with time donated by the station on Radio
Channel 292 from Rohrbach, Germany on September 7 from 2100 to 2200
UTC on 3955, 6070 and 9670 kHz. This is Channel 292’s first
collaborative simulcast featuring five music and variety programs that appear on
its weekly schedule – Alt Universe Top 40 (rock), Encore (classical
music), From the Isle of Music (Cuban music), Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot
(world and novelty music) and the Voice of the Report of the Week (listener
request music plus commentary). 3955 and 9670 are both new
frequencies, and listeners are encouraged to try them as a DX catch
in eastern Canada and the eastern United States. A special eQSL will be
available from the producer (details will be given during the broadcast).
6070 kHz will of course not be receivable in Canada due to CFRX on the same

Bach cello piece on the guitar. After that we will have two Hungarian Dances by
Brahms - arranged for the piano. Two songs from the opera next - Placido Domingo
as Figaro in the Barber of Seville, and the final trio from Die RosenKavalier.
An Octet by Schubert and two pieces by contemporary composer Caroline Shaw
follow on. The programme finishes with some lute music and part of a Brahms
string quartet.
