The broadcast will be transmitted with 300 kW of power and should guarantee a clear signal to listeners all across Europe and much of Asia. If you don't have a radio or aren't located in the target area, there are still ways to listen!

The show will be broadcast live from a transmitter Moosbrunn, Austria and will feature a fun hour of music and commentary. I hope to take listener music requests as well!

Here is the broadcast schedule:

(LIVE) Saturday 1700 UTC (1 PM Eastern / 7 PM CEST) – 6070 kHz – Moosbrunn 300 kW – Europe, The Middle East & Africa

If you do not have a radio, you can still listen online via a WebSDR Receiver streaming the audio at the following link:
