IRRS-Shortwave Schedules

IRRS-Shortwave (the Italian Radio Relay Service) is a service provided by NEXUS-IBA, broadcasting on Shortwave from Europe to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific. Our broadcasts on Shortwave can also be aired outside of our designated target areas and be beamed on-demand to any region globally, including North and South America.

Every evening from 19:00 CET until 23:00 CET, we also air via IRRS-Medium Wave currently on 594 kHz to N Italy and Central Europe (to be moved to 918 kHz in late Q3/2021).

A tentative service on Long Wave (207 kHz) to Europe is planned to start in late 2021. A formal authorisation has been obtained, but we are waiting for final clearance from local authorities to start regular broadcasts. You may already hear occasional, unscheduled, antenna and transmitter tuning tests on this frequency.

European Gospel Radio

IRRS-Shortwave also carries Christian radio programs on behalf of European Gospel Radio (EGR). You can find European Gospel Radio programs listed in our schedules on this website. More information about European Gospel Radio is available also on our website.

For more details on Christian radio broadcasts, please check the European Gospel Radio website to learn about the EGR mission to help Christians preach the Bible and the Gospel to remote areas in the world. With powerful transmitters provided by NEXUS-IBA, European Gospel Radio outreaches Christians and non-Christians where there is no Internet, where Missionaries are not allowed to travel, or where Christian media is censored.

You may hear a selection of NEXUS-IBA members’ programs over our stations, either secular and religious (non-denominational), hourly news, cultural topics, music and feature programs from around the world, also available 24/7 via our streaming audio service. We currently operate two streaming channels:

• IRN (Internet Radio NEXUS) that simulcast IRRS-Shortwave at the time of operation, as well as news, features, religious programs and music 24/7 in English
• All Gospel Radio: a 24/7 channel dedicated to Christian programs, news and Christian music 24/7 in English

If you wish to remain updated with the latest frequency and program changes, please subscribe to our mailing list. It’s a low traffic mailing list intended to inform our listeners of any significant change in our schedule.

International Public Access Radio (IPAR)

International Public Acces Radio (IPAR) is a service provided by NEUS-IBA to small (non-religious), individual program producers and non-profit organisations worldwide. If you have a general interest program, you are welcome to join IPAR and broadcast your radio program or podcast to a wide audience in Europe and even beyond.

Reception reports

We welcome your reception reports for all of our broadcasts on Shortwave, Medium Wave and Long Wave. If found correct, we will acknowledge your reception report by our e-QSL card. Besides any technical detail on our transmission, we will greatly appreciate comments on the content that you have heard.

Please be patient while we process your QSL requests. We currently have a waiting time of more than 30 days, due to a lack of internal resources and to the volume of requests. All reception reports are only accepted by email at reports (at) nexus (dot) org. We are no more accepting reception reports sent to our street or to our old PO Box address.

Copy of reception reports may be sent to the original programmer or supporter of our broadcasts as an anonymized copy (without your full name, address and email) and may be published on our website, as stated in our privacy policy. If you are unhappy with this provision, please do not send us your reception report and do not request a QSL card. Thank You.
