A little history of RNEI:

• Created in January 2020, RNEI was originally planned as a one-off personal-project show to see what Rose’s favourite songs sounded like and to reintroduce Nordic music to shortwave. The reactions to the first show, broadcast on the 15th of February 2020 at 19UTC on 6070kHz, caused Rose to re-create RNEI as a “community-station” style show inviting many new and existing presenters to join the RNEI team including TIAMS from March 2020 – September 2023, Stephen in March 2021, Mamma in April 2021 and DK in August 2023. RNEI has also featured shows from Daz in March 2022, Radio Carpathia in August 2022 and Radio Catface in November 2022 as part of our community outreach.
• Show improvements include using talkbeds since March 2020, editing songs since RNEI #7, working with artists on artist-intros since September 2020, A music-sample introduction starting with RNEI #9, New jingles being regularly added, occasional dance mixes starting with Show #11 and RNEIxtra specials since March 2022 including the first of many Japanese music specials in June 2022.
• Passionate about innovative technologies, Rose has been embedding data including MFSK inside music from Show #1, waterfall imagery from Show #3 as well as tests of data above 5k in Show #6, PSK500R in Show #7, PSK125R inside music in RNEI #9, PSK1000R and Olivia “now-playing” inside songs in show #10. After experimenting with sending files and, since Show #11, animated HTML playlists with HamDRM modes in Show #8-14 Daz has helped develop EasyDRF, a more advanced HamDRM mode which we’ve used since Show #15. In March 2020, Rose thought of an idea to get stereo working over a mono transmitter and by April 2020 Daz had made a working system which we have called Comb Stereo and used since Show #3!
• Our expansion started in April 2020 when we started regular broadcasting to Australia using Unique Radio. We then added regular broadcasts from Radio Onda (Europe) in August 2020, WRMI 5850 (North America) in September 2020, WRMI 15770 (North Atlantic) in January 2022, and Paochung (Pacific) in February 2023. We also ran tests from Armenia / Yerevan in March 2021 and Nauen in June 2022.
