"Gruß an Bord" ("Greetings on board")
Tue 24 Dec - 1900-2300
Pt 1 = 1900-2100: 6030 6080 9570 9740 9800 11650

-------------------------------------
https://www.ndr.de/nachrichten/info/sendungen/Gruss-an-Bord-So-empfangen-Sie-die-Sendung,grussanbord534.html
Google translates: NDR Info sends the "Greeting on board" from 20:05 to
22:00 CET. This is followed by the transmission of the Christmas Mass
from the church of St. Mary Magdalene in Bochum-Wattenscheid from 22 to
23.15 CET. Then you will hear the second part of "Greetings on Board"
until midnight CET.This is how you receive the broadcast
It has tradition and exudes a very special pre-Christmas mood: On
Christmas Eve greetings are sent to the seafarers around the world from
8:05 pm - 10:00 pm and from 11:15 pm - midnight on NDR Info. And on the
most different channels and technical ways, so that the greetings and
messages can be guaranteed to be received on all seven seas.
The ship's crews have several options to receive the program "Greeting
on board". Also the shortwave belongs to it. The livestreams of the
program (20.05 to 22 clock and 23.15 clock to 24 clock MEZ) can be found
here: NDR Info and NDR Info Special. In addition, there is the
possibility to listen to the program via the NDR radio app. NDR Info can
also be received via FM, DAB + and DVB-S radio, NDR Info special only
via DAB + and DVB-S radio.
So that all crew members on board - on the seas or in the harbors - can
receive the traditional program, the NDR radio has also rented shortwave
frequencies:
From 19:00 to 21:00 UTC
Frequency target area
6080 kHz Atlantic - North
11650 kHz Atlantic - South
9800 kHz Atlantic / Indian Ocean (South Africa)
9740 kHz Indian Ocean - West

In this special festive edition of In The Studio, Glyn Tansley goes
behind the façade of the Vatican to meet the members of the oldest choir
in the world, as they prepare for the biggest night on their calendar.
The Sistine Chapel Choir has a history dating back 1500 years, but it’s
still one of the most active cultural institutions at the very heart of
the Vatican.
It also has the prestige of being the Pope’s personal choir, performing
for him whenever he’s in St Peter’s Basilica. As the Holy Father’s
personal choir, it is called upon to play an ecumenical role,
contributing to bringing together in art what has been separated by
history and politics.
In their rehearsal room we meet the men and boys who make up the choir,
as they prepare for Christmas Mass, an event watched around the world by
millions of worshippers. We’ll come to understand why being in this
choir so important to them, and the pressures of always being on display
through the Vatican’s global TV and radio services.
This is a rare glimpse into the real lives at the heart of an ancient
tradition.

".....★TIAMS 2019 Top 25★
Hello All-
As the year draws to a close, I thought I would do a "Top 25" to finish
off 2019.
In keeping with program's main theme, the list is limited to all the
second-hand thrift store/flea market finds since the start of the year;
new releases/reissues/archive tunes have been omitted.
If you need a refresher on some tunes, a lot of these can be found on
YouTube with a simple copy+paste.
The Top 25 will be played over 2 shows (in)conveniently(?) on Christmas
Night and New Year's night in the Americas:
Dec 26 0200 UTC (Christmas Night 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific)
Jan 2 0200 UTC (New Year's Night 9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific)
on 5850 kHz (main frequency), with 7780 kHz at 0200-0230 UTC, 9395 kHz
at 0230-0300UTC
It's a long list (280 songs!), so thanks for taking a moment to go
through these. Choose as many as you wish!
★★★Thank you for listening!★★★
