VORW International Radio Guide May 2026

Ways to listen to VORW Radio International ###### UPDATED May 31st, 2026 ######

This document features an easy to understand guide on how to listen to my Radio Show.

What is the Radio Show?

My Radio Show (formally known as VORW Radio International) is a radio program that airs twice weekly. It's 1 hour long and features mixed music (including listener requests) and often has some facts/trivia about the songs played. Shout-Outs to listeners are regularly given as well. The first 20 minutes of each program generally consists of commentary and analysis of select current events, random topics are occasionally discussed as well. The opinions shared in the broadcast are my own - and even if they may not always be agreeable, the intention is to encourage critical thinking and provide perspective to issues in the news!

I have two main airings of my radio show each week, each of these two airings is brand new:

Saturday at 2 AM Eastern - 4840 kHz to North America
Monday at 12 AM Eastern - 4840 kHz to North America

Repeat Broadcasts are heard throughout the week at:

Tuesday at 4 AM Eastern - 5850 kHz to North America
Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern - 15770 kHz to North America & Western Europe
Wednesday at 7 PM Eastern - 9455 kHz to North America
Wednesday at 10 PM Eastern - 9395 kHz to North America
Thursday at 5 AM Eastern - 9705 kHz to East Asia
Thursday at 12 PM Eastern - 15770 kHz to Eastern North America
Thursday at 6 PM Eastern - 9955 kHz to South America
Saturday at 12 AM Eastern - 15770 kHz to Europe
Saturday at 3 AM Eastern - 1300 AM to Nashville, Tennessee
Saturday at 7 PM Eastern - 5950 kHz to Eastern North America
Saturday at 9 PM Eastern - 1490 AM to Knoxville, Tennessee
Sunday at 8 PM Eastern - 5950 kHz to North America

Listeners in Europe, South Asia and Africa may be able to get a fair to good signal of the main airings on 4840 kHz and 9705 kHz, however please note that good reception - while possible, is not always guaranteed. An optimal antenna setup will increase the chance for sufficiently good reception, even if you are far outside of the primary target area!

What is shortwave?

Shortwave radio is radio transmission using shortwave radio frequencies, generally 1700 kHz - 30000 kHz. Radio signals are reflected off the upper atmosphere back to earth, allowing signals to travel thousands of miles. Shortwave radio remains very popular throughout the developing world though audiences still exist in all parts of the world.

Purchasing a shortwave radio:

Listening to the broadcast live on a shortwave radio can be a fun experience! Shortwave radio can also prove useful in situations of natural disaster, war, government censorship or general unrest in order to obtain important outside news and information. Shortwave radio is also a unique way to hear independent radio programming, world music, news and entertainment from distant countries at the turn of a dial!

Affordable shortwave radios which I recommend are:

Tecsun PL-660
Tecsun PL-380
Tecsun PL-310et
Retekess V-115
CC Skywave Radio
