Our Shortwave signal on 6085 kHz originates from a unique transmitter site, located just outside the Eifeldorf Kall-Krekel, Germany.

In the past (Radio Mi Amigo Internation first started broadcasting on Shortwave back in 2015) 4 'all-purpose' 1kW Rohde & Schwarz SK1 transmitters and antenna's were used: 6005 kHz, 7310 kHz, 9650 kHz and 3985 kHz, all situated in a former police/army radio communication station, in a post-WWII bunker from the 60s, now in private hands.

Our broadcast facility partner there is 'Shortwaveservice', the German broadcast facilitator that has kept us on the air since 2015, uninterrupted, with an impressive 100% up-time. ShortwaveService also facilitates airtime on high power (100+ kW) Shortwave transmitters in other countries such as Armenia, Sri Lanka, Nauen, Main (USA) and Ireland, airtime we sometimes book for special events.

Owner and broadcast engineer Burkhard, in his 'Sendezentrum', keeps a large collection of well-maintained vintage broadcast equipment, with many SW-, MW-, FM- and even TV transmitters (+ an 80s TV studio!), including a large collection of Rhode & Schwarz transmitters from the 70s. - (See our exclusive video tour above)

From October 31, 2016, Radio Mi Amigo was able to extend its airtime via a dedicated SW transmitter on the frequency of 6085 kHz, with daily broadcasting hours starting at 9:00 hrs and ending at 19:00 hrs (CET).
