Italy has lots to offer for the medium wave enthusiast. Radio Studio X is broadcasting with 5 kW from Momigno near Pistoia in Tuscany, Italy. Two other frequencies are listed as 1485 kHz from Livorno and 1584 kW from Arezzo, both with 1 kW. However, MW-List shows these as “inactive”. The station pioneered AM stereo transmissions in C-QUAM format.
I tried to QSL them earlier, but without success. This time I used the qsl@radiostudiox.it address and QSL manager Stefano replied within a day.
Radio Studio X is a beloved independent station renowned for its nostalgic embrace of 80s and 90s dance, pop, and electronic music. It delivers an infectious playlist of classic hits alongside lesser-known gems that delight longtime fans and DJ enthusiasts alike.
With its streaming app, online museum showcasing vintage radio and music memorabilia, and a vibrant Facebook community, Radio Studio X embodies the enduring spirit of Italy’s freewheeling pirate radio heritage, providing 24/7 grooves that transport listeners back to the neon-lit dancefloors of yesteryear while maintaining a quirky, community-driven charm in the digital age.
I recently discovered this station one evening on 1188 kHz, and with at quite good signal, although with some QSB.
I really like their music selection.
Sometimes I hear Nemzetiségi Adások from Hungary on that frequency as well.
73 !
PS. Still have to find out how WavViewDX works 😉
Hi Patrick. Yes you are right. Nemzeitségi Adások is a powerhouse here, and I can only receive Studio X after 1900 h UTC. Obviously the fact that my antenna has a fixed 120/300 angle doesn’t help, but even then I doubt if nulling the 300 kW Hungarian transmitter would work.
