Our annual #RNEI #Christmasbroadcast on #shortwave has a draft schedule! 
#SWRadio
Hopefully it'll be able to be heard by you wherever you are in Europe 
(and for some hours, beyond!). It's worth trying each frequency and hour 
because propagation changes wildly!
Attached are frequency predictions!

I'm building up my own list of holiday broadcasts on #shortwave & 
#mediumwave 🎄
I'm aware of a similar publication by Alan Gale @ swling.com/blog/wp-cont...
but it's always fun to compile my own list, even if not just for myself 😂
You can watch as I add things lol 👓
