HOME presents... SELECTED ENGLISH LANGUAGE DX\SWL\MEDIA PROGRAMS ON SHORTWAVE Plus a few selected Mailbags and other goodies! February 7, 2010 Compiled by Glenn Hauser For latest updates on WORLD OF RADIO times and other gh projects, see the WORLD OF RADIO Anomaly Alert page. Or the WOR schedule. Dates for 2-weekly broadcasts (Turkey, New Zealand) are projected, and may be disrupted by holidays. Confirmations of appearances or non-appearances are welcome. Turkey had been projected to Jan 23-24 and 2-weekly, but Richard Lemke, AB, CIDX Messenger, heard it on Jan 2, so this has been adjusted to Jan 16-17 + 2 weekly. DXing with Cumbre listings have mostly been eliminated due to imaginary WHR website schedules; any confirmed will be added later. We are still waiting! The Sunday 1200 has now been DEconfirmed. If you see some strange Havana frequencies here: we include confirmed and pervasive mixing products: reality. From early July, many English transmissions have been replaced by Spanish, temporarily due to Honduran situation? The 2030 and 2300 broadcasts often missing partially or completely. But English often appears after 0700 on 6060 or elsewhere on 49m. Many broadcasts on WRMI 9955 are jammed by Cuba. Please direct complaints to Arnie Coro WRMI started a new M-F service in French to Haiti on Jan 21 at 12-13, which knocks off several DX program times. Resumed 50 kW by Feb 4 but not yet the NW antenna. Schedule in flux but updated as of Feb 5. WWCR changed 5070 to 4775 on Feb 3, affecting WOR et al. UT Sundays. WBCQ Area 51 moved INTERNATIONAL RADIO REPORT from UT Fri 0130 to Sun 2230 when 5110 is still on the air. RAE/Argentina returned to the air Jan 22, with new tube, not new transmitter, after having been off for almost three months.
