I love to use my little Grundig shortwave receiver to tune in the world,
at night, in hopes of tuning in traditional music from lands I've never
visited. With fewer stations on the air it's becoming more difficult to
find these stations. I thought I'd share one station that continues the
tradition of news, current events, and music.
Radio Taiwan International can be heard
on 5950kHz and 9680kHz each night in North America. On Wednesday
mornings (UTC) a signature program, Jade Bells and Bamboo Pipes, is
broadcast. The program is great and brings the sounds of the orient
right to your home. It is an award-winning program that should
entertain your ears.
Radio Ukraine International used to broadcast several classical music
programs before their transmitters went dark. Radio Bulgaria was also
an excellent station that was worth tuning in before it went
Internet-only (not much radio in the Internet).
If anyone knows of any other good stations please post a comment and
I'll include them.
