I live in Tullinge, Sweden, and Radio Delta has become part of my regular weekend listening.

I usually listen on 6190 kHz with my Icom receiver and Spy Wire antenna. The signal from Elburg often reaches me very well, and I always enjoy the music and the variety in the programme.

There are often songs that make a broadcast particularly memorable. On 4 September, it was wonderful to hear Sade’s “Smooth Operator.” A few weeks later, on 26 September, I heard a beautiful version of Sting’s “Fields of Gold” performed by Coosje Smid. That was a wonderful choice for a Swedish listener.

I listen to Radio Delta almost every weekend, and over time it has become more than just tuning in to a shortwave station. We regularly have nice conversations on WhatsApp about the broadcasts, the music and radio in general.

That is one of the things I enjoy about shortwave radio: a signal travelling from the Netherlands to Sweden can also lead to friendship between people who share the same passion for radio and music.
