KSKO is definitely not one of the typical broadcasters on shortwave. The program of this public local station from McGrath, Alaska is broadcast across Europe every Friday 21-22h UTC with 50 kW via Spaceline in Kostinbrod, Bulgaria.

The program is their regular program, with local sponsors, quiz, music and DJ. The only thing which is different is greeting their European audience. And why do they do this? Well, as they said themselves in the show: “Just because…”. But I do suspect that the alaskaradionerd email address of verie signer Paul Walker explains a lot. Thank you Paul for offering European radio enthusiasts to familiarize themselves with Alaska Public Radio KSKO!
