QSL All Tribes Radio via Channel 292

A nice eQSL from All Tribes Radio broadcasting via Channel 292, Rohrdorf, Germany on 9670 kHz:

And a brief audioclip of their station ID:

All Tribes Radio is a station with roots in Costa Rica. On their website, which I also used to submit my reception report, you can find a nice narrative their history, which I repeat below:

Broadcasting across the globe on shortwave radio, All Tribes Radio champions world peace through an eclectic blend of culturally diverse music, spoken word, and vintage treasures from the golden age of radio.

We offer a welcoming platform for independent artists who license their work through Creative Commons, while also sharing open-source, public-domain, Copyleft, and other copyright-free content.

Founded in 2008, All Tribes Radio (ATR) streamed Creative Commons music 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to an average of 6,000 listeners per month in more than 120 countries across every continent. With studios in Nosara, Costa Rica, ATR’s signal reached the world via an internet server in Tampa, Florida.

In 2011, streaming gave way to podcasting, resulting in the production of 68 one-hour episodes for iTunes, completed in 2012.

ATR entered a new chapter in 2020 with its first shortwave broadcasts: a weekly one-hour program showcasing Creative Commons music in English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian. These were transmitted from WRMI in Okeechobee, Florida, and Channel 292 in Rohrbach, Germany. Unfortunately, the disruptions of Covid-19 brought those broadcasts to an end the following year.

Happily, as of November 30, 2025, ATR has returned to the shortwave airwaves—now transmitting exclusively from Channel 292 with 10 kW of power and a 315º beam aimed toward northern and western Europe. One-hour broadcasts can be heard each Sunday from 1400–1500 UTC on 9670 kHz. Reception reports are warmly welcomed, and e-QSL verification is available.

QSL Sunny Jim’s Trance Journey via Channel 292 9670 kHz

As I wrote to Jim: “If you would have asked me if there would be Trance on Shortwave… I would have said no.” But with good quality reception via Channel 292 it is possible, although it my wife who goes to trance festivals with me preferring to stay behind the radio.

Within a day I got this nice fully detailed QSL from Jim for my reception report of SJTJ on Channel 292, Germany. Sunny Jim (Jim Salmon) has a very nice website about his radio adventures.

QSL KTL Radio via Channel 292

KTL is an internet radio station broadcasting a live stream from various studios across Germany and one in The Netherlands.

Occasionally KTL also uses Channel 292. I listened to a German program “Beatschuppen” full of oldies. I am not sure if this was a relay of their regular on-line radio program though. It offered the opportunity for listeners to send a request “Musikwunsch” which suggests that this broadcast was live.

My request didn’t make it to the show, but I got their e-QSL. I sent my report to andre(at)ktl-radio.de .

QSL Radio Bandit via Channel 292

I am a regular Channel 292 listener, but this weekend was the first time I noticed Radio Bandit on their 9670 kHz schedule. My report to Uwe Reiter was answered within a day.

Uwe wrote a nice email on his station:

“Radio Bandit is a one man show, unfortunately I don’t have a helpful team to help me. It can also be good: if mistakes are made, you know exactly who you can hold responsible. Yesterday’s broadcast was a test for me to find out what profit the Beam of Channel 292 brings, 10 dB were always possible. Otherwise I would have only ever used the omnidirectional antenna.

I am 67 years old. When I was about eight years old, my father gave me an old tube receiver, a Super AT with medium and short wave 50 to 30 m. On medium wave I listened to the numerous local stations at the time, on short wave nothing could be heard until I simply connected a few meters of wire to the existing antenna input. At that time, there were many more stations on shortwave than today. Everyone listened to Radio Luxembourg, including Radio Nordsee International from MEBO 2. In short, the virus radio had done its job.

I spent my childhood and youth in the shadow of the former Königs Wusterhausen transmitter south of Berlin. With its 20 kW medium waves for Radio DDR, several 250 kilowatt transmitters for Radio Berlin International, the foreign service of the former GDR and a 500 ! Kilowatt longwave transmitter for the Soviet occupying troops at the time, there was always enough HF in the air. That’s probably why I’m so radio-crazy and irradiated.

By the way, I only transmit on shortwave two or three times a year, simply when shortwave calls me. In 1974, RNI and Radio Veronica had to stop broadcasting. RNI then reappeared on the Internet in 2008, where I broadcast as Doc. Wolfgang Haus in the German service, which was always broadcast on Thursdays. At the legendary Radiodays in Erkrath I also had the opportunity to meet my former stars like Andy Archer. Dick de Graaf and Graham Gill in person.

Uwe as Dr. Wolgang Haus on RNI German Service

Uwe might be a one man radio show, but it was obvious from the show that he had a solid radio background. And still a very pleasant voice to listen to. It was nice to learn that Uwe pretty much got addicted to radio the same way as I did. Growing up with offshore free radio and discovering the world on the family tube receiver in an era where there was no internet. By the way, you can learn more about Köning Wusterhausen in Germany in my post about the Funkerberg.

The Ghoul via Channel 292 6070 kHz

I listened to “The Ghoul” via Channel 292 on 6070 kHz. That’s a radio program I haven’t seen often in the Channel 292 schedule. And I’m still not entirely sure what it actually was that I was listening to. A nice non-standard music selection interspersed with some either provocative or humorous opinions like “minimizing the production of misfits, the choice is yours”.

That said, my report was awarded with this very nice QSL. It perfectly represents how I feel as a DXer sometimes.

I sent my report to differentradio@yahoo.co.uk, and received an answer within a day.

QSL Radio Nordsee International 6070 kHz

QSL card Radio Nordsee International special event

August 31st, 2024 it was 50 years ago that Radio Noordzee en Radio Veronica closed down. There were quite a few broadcasts that day to commemorate. I heard Radio Northsea Nijmegen with a program via Channel 292, Germany on 6070 kHz.

Earlier I received a QSL by email, today this nice physical QSL card dropped in the mail box! Thank you so much Michel Boon at the Radio Northsea Nijmegen team!

QSL Cruisin’ the Decades via Channel 292

Cruisin’ the Decades is a program created by Brad Savage. On a weekly basis the 60 minute program brings one songs per decade, from 1920 to 2020. A very nice concept. Cruisin’ the Decades is broadcast via many stations. On shortwave I’ve heard the Cruisin’ the Decades show via Channel 292 Germany and WRMI Miami. Apparently there is also a slot with WBCQ Monticello.

The email QSL below is for the reception of this program via Channel 292, Rohrbach in Germany (6070 and 9670 kHz).
