Important information about future funding of Encore - Radio Tumbril.
Up to date transmission times and frequencies
The playlists for the most recent programmes
An email link
 
Informal reception reports as well as those requesting eQSL welcome.
 
You can help keep Encore on the air:
Encore is a one-man operation. WRMI and Channel 292 are very generous with their air-time but Encore still costs around 200 Dollars/Euros a month to broadcast.
I'm happy to go on giving my time and such expertise as I have to the project of broadcasting classical music on Shortwave - it's a passion - but need some help with the costs or Encore will have to stop.
There is a PayPal donation button now on the homepage of the website - www.tumbril.co.uk - which folks can use if they want to. If PayPal is no good for you then send me an email and we'll sort something else out.
Thank you.
 
Many thanks to the folks who have donated already - It's enough to keep going for another 4-5 weeks. 
 
This week's Programme - First broadcast this coming Saturday by Channel 292 - starts with Energy Flow by the Japanese contemporary composer Sakamoto. Then we have two of the less often played pieces from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
Next the Benedictus from Karl Jenkins' The Armed Man, a song from The Pearl Fishers, a very early trio by Debussy, and some lute music.
The hour ends with Tawny Rose by Stefania de Kenessey and part of the Rosamunde Quartet by Schubert.
 
Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search.
A very good site for online SDR receivers all over the world is: http://kiwisdr.com/public/  Click the 'Map' button in the top left of the screen.
 
Thank you for spreading the word about Encore - Classical Music on Shortwave on Radio Tumbril.

(**) in auto
(***) interesante programma in lingua spagnola dedicato al popolo Sharawi per un anniversario. In arabo dalle 1940 UTC.

In questi giorni sto testando uno splendido Murphy B842 a transistor con onde medie, lunghe e corte (49 e 41 metri). Ottima ferrite interna, in onde lunghe è il mio miglior rx in assoluto (sembra sia nato per ascoltare la mitica BBC da Droitwich che con questo rx qui a Como arriva già a metà pomeriggio. Sensibilissimo e silenzioso). In onde medie pecca un po' di selettività rispetto al Panasonic R100
ed ovviamente rispetto ad ex più moderni (ad esempio fatica a separare RAI 1 900kHz dalla BBC sui 909kHz). Ti invio alcune foto di questo gioiellino prodotto in Giappone e destinato soprattuto al Regno Unito: lo si vede dalla scala parlante ove in FM sono indicati solo i canali BBC 1,2 e 3! E dai canali in onde medie scritti sulla scala parlante... peccato che molti tx siano stati chiusi... BBC Ulster poi... che tristezza! Questo rx ha bisogno solo di una bella pulita, cosa che ho iniziato a fare, c'è anche un bel po di ossido nel vano batterie che per fortuna non ha rovinato i contatti e non è andato sul circuito stampato. Utile la presa per l'antenna in auto, e utile il fatto che, come il Sokol, usa la ferrite anche in onde corte. Curioso il logo dell'auto con l'antennone a fianco del parabrezza anteriore (ricordo di altri tempi, anche se in Italia le auto negli anni '70 avevano l'antenna telescopica sulla parte posteriore) ed interessante notare come, in quegli anni si ragionava ancora in metri e non in kHz.
