Up to date transmission times and frequencies
The playlists for the most recent programmes
An email link
 
Informal reception reports as well as those requesting eQSL cards welcome.
 
You can help keep Encore on the air:
Encore is a one-man operation. WRMI and Channel 292 are very generous with their air-time but Encore still costs around 200 Dollars/Euros a month to broadcast.
If you can - send a small contribution to help Encore keep going.
There is a PayPal donation button now on the homepage of the website - www.tumbril.co.uk - which folks can use if they want to. If PayPal is no good for you then send me an email and we'll sort something else out.
Thank you.
 
A big thanks to the folks who have donated already.
 
This week's Programme - First broadcast this coming Saturday on Channel 292 - starts with a Bach violin Partita, some contemporary vocal and percussion music by Caroline Shaw, the the Poem of Ecstasy by Scriabin.
The second half of the programme is the whole of the overture The Burlesque of Don Quixote by Telemann and the arrangement of Mussorgsky's A Night on the Bare Mountain by Rimsky-Korsakov.
 
Channel 292 can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their site with a google search.
A very good site for online SDR receivers all over the world is: http://kiwisdr.com/public/  Click the 'Map' button in the top left of the screen.
 
Thank you for spreading the word about Encore - Classical Music on Shortwave on Radio Tumbril.

In Rochester NY state much stronger at S=6 or -93dBm, nice audio though
at 01.25 UT, all on 7490.091 kHz on the upper flank.
