DXtra - a new DX programme from Scotland

Radio Six International is launching a new DX programme on 13 May. The station is now receiving many letters and reception reports every week from listeners to its shortwave and mediumwave transmissions, and this week its Internet service notched up its 122nd country with new listeners in Trinidad and Tobago.

Currently, letters from shortwave fans are read out in the weekly music programme "Saturday Sounds", but Radio Six believes there is a demand for a special programme devoted not just to listeners' letters but also to news and views from the radio hobbyists’ world.

DXtra will be broadcast several times each month on a variety of frequencies, and Radio Six hopes that in advance of its launch, listeners will pick up a pen or keyboard and let them know what their views are on the current state of affairs on the HF and MF bands.

Listeners can contact the programme by emailing letters@radiosix.com or writing to DXtra, Radio Six International, PO Box 600, Glasgow, G41 5SH, Scotland.

The inaugural programme airs as follows:

Saturday 13 May – 0920 UTC on 13840 kHz for Europe, North Africa and ME

Sunday, 14 May – 0750 UTC on 13840 kHz for Europe, North Africa and ME

Thursday, 18 May – 1950 UTC on 5775 kHz for Europe, North Africa and ME

Sunday, 21 May – 0250 UTC on 88.5 MHz for Tawa and the Porirua Basin, Wellington, New Zealand

All broadcasts will also be available on the Radio Six website.
