QSL KSET 6160 kHz

November 21, 2025 / / 0 Comments

A QSL from KSET on 6160 kHz. No not, a US call sign, but a program from Imaginary Stations via Shortwave Gold, Winsen on 6160 kHz.

eQSL KSET (Imaginery Stations) via SW Gold, Winsen, 6160 kHz

Imaginary Stations makes an effort to build each program around a specific theme.

This time music released on audio tape ony was played: “Imaginary Stations celebrates the analog renaissance with KSET, K-S-E-T, dedicated to the fascinating world of audiotapes… Tune in and unwind with us .. on some of the coolest cassettes to be found anywhere. Hey can you hand me that pencil?”.
Those who are as old as I am will remember that you indeed used a pencil to rewind the tapes by sticking a pencil in one of the spools.

The call sign KSET is another gimmick of Imaginary Stations. They often use a name that not only refers to the program content, but also suggests a US or Canadian call sign. Their next show on November 22nd/23rd is called CMDY.

QSL SURF Imaginary Stations 6160 kHz

September 2, 2025 / / 2 Comments

I like chasing DX stations. But I also like listening to producers that offer something special on shortwave. For that reason I regularly check the Channel 292 calendar. But Shortwaveradio.de also offers nice programs.

This weekend I listened to SURF, a program from Imaginary Stations via Shortwave Gold. My report was confirmed by DJ Frederic Moe with a nice eQSL:

Imaginary Stations is a shortwave radio program producing creative broadcasts with themed music and content. One of these is around surf classics (SURF series). Another theme is analog music archives (The Ancient Analogue Archive). They are on air via Shortwave Gold (Shortwaveradio.de) and WRMI. In the program I listened to they invited people to become member of their Pen Pal club, and the Japanese “Surf” music played was by recommendation of a member from Tokyo.

You can find more info about Imaginary Stations on this Factsheet:

By the way, the Facebook page of Imaginary Stations and Radio Skybird features Shivering Sands Army Forts in the Thames, from which Radio City was broadcasting. A place full of radio history as I explained in an earlier post.

QSL Shortwave Radio Winsen 6160 kHz

May 26, 2025 / / 1 Comment

Shortwave Radio from Winsen is an easy catch here. For a little compensation they will confirm your report with a traditional QSL card. You can read the details on their website.

The station is located in Winsen “on the river Aller”. So that is the Winsen located 20 km north of Hannover, Germany (there is another Winsen south of Hamburg). They broadcast on 6160 and 3975 kHz. Next to their own program Shortwave Gold there are various other program producers that use the Shortwave Radio facilities.
