Aart Happy 2026!
From all of us at Radio Delta AM, we wish all our listeners a very good, healthy, and enjoyable new year, filled with music, radio moments, and lots of listening pleasure.
We’re proud to start 2026 the way we love most: together with shortwave listeners from all around the world. On January 1st, Radio Delta AM is live on the air, continuing our tradition of real shortwave radio made by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.
On the air on two shortwave frequencies
To begin the new year, Radio Delta AM can be heard on 6.040 kHz, and also on 12.005 kHz, offering extended coverage for longer-distance reception. Depending on propagation, listeners can choose the frequency that works best for their location.
Listener reactions from around the world
Over the past days, we’ve received many warm and encouraging messages from our listeners, reminding us why shortwave radio is still so special.
Tonny (Netherlands) wrote:
“Very good signal here, enjoyable audio, and great to spend time listening.”
Andrew (England) reported:
“Clear signal with some propagation, but very listenable. A pleasure to hear.”
Jakub (Czech Republic) said:
“Good reception and professional presentation. I really enjoy listening.”
Timo (Finland) shared:
“Even under difficult conditions, the programme keeps you listening. Real shortwave radio.”
Dennis (Netherlands) mentioned:
“Good audio and stable reception — very pleasant listening.”
Chris (Poland) told us:
“Strong signal with slight fading, but full of atmosphere and great radio stories.”
Dieter (Germany) added:
“Once the band opens, the Delta sound is excellent. Shortwave at its best.”
These reactions are a great motivation for our entire team and show how radio continues to connect people across borders.
Five Decades of Music & Radio Stories
As we move into 2026, Radio Delta AM continues with its trusted format Five Decades of Music, combined with our popular Radio Stories. These stories bring personal radio memories, listener experiences, and moments from the world of shortwave radio.
New Radio Stories are already in preparation and will be added throughout the year, bringing fresh voices, new ideas, and more inspiration from the shortwave community.
Looking ahead to 2026
The new year will bring new ideas, new sounds, and new surprises on shortwave. Together with our listeners, we’ll keep exploring what makes radio special: sound, distance, imagination, and connection.
Thank you to everyone who listens, sends reception reports, shares memories, and supports Radio Delta AM. You are what keeps this station alive.
We wish all our listeners a wonderful 2026 — with good reception, great music, and lots of listening pleasure.

Good morning and a happy new year to all at the Radio Delta team,
Good morning, there were fireworks going off here yesterday from 5 PM until 4:15 AM this morning. 😒
I don’t even want to know how much money was wasted… 🤔
Let’s enjoy the new year… 🙏with the wonderfulRadioDelta sound.

Dear Dieter,
Good morning, and a happy New Year to you as well — thank you for your message.
Yes, it sounds like Hamburg really had a long night… fireworks from early evening until well into the morning is quite something. Many of us share your thoughts about the amount of money and noise involved. All the more reason to slow things down now and enjoy the calm side of the new year — preferably with good music and the Radio Delta sound on shortwave.
Thank you for tuning in and for your loyal listening from Hamburg. We really appreciate your messages and your radio spirit.
73 and all the best for 2026,
Radio Delta AM

Many thanks to Radio Delta for great music. Best sound with strong signal let us forgive the less fading from time to time on 6040 kHz here in North Germany. Radio Delta gives us a great present for a good start in 2026.
73 and all the best,
Dieter
