Radio DARC - 2017 - Station ID and Overview
QSL and Audio Contributed by Istvan Hegedus (Hungary)
Germany's national society for amateur radio enthusiasts. Operating under the motto "Von Funkamateuren für Funkamateure"
(By radio amateurs for radio amateurs), the show serves as a specialized magazine focused on DXing
(long-distance radio communication), shortwave listening, and amateur radio technology.
The program debuted in March 2015 following the shutdown of Deutsche Welle's powerful shortwave transmitter near
Munich. In response, a group of ham radio operators scavenged parts to construct their own independent transmission system.
Architecturally styled after historic pirate radio stations—such as Radio Caroline and Radio Veronica—the show pairs
technical news, market reports, and interviews with a musical lineup primarily consisting of hits from the 1970s and 1980s
