HOME presents... SELECTED ENGLISH LANGUAGE DX\SWL\MEDIA PROGRAMS ON SHORTWAVE Plus a few selected Mailbags and other goodies! July 31, 2010 Compiled by Glenn Hauser WRMI updated as of July 9, subject to constant revisions. Still using SSE antenna only, the NW antenna not yet repaired. WBCQ Area 51 keeps changing times for DX programs; on 5110 as of May 2, INTERNATIONAL RADIO REPORT UT Mon 0230 following PIRATES WEEK at 0200- 0230. Dates for 2-weekly broadcasts (Turkey, New Zealand) are projected, and may be disrupted by holidays. Confirmations of appearances or non-appearances are welcome. DXing with Cumbre listings have been eliminated due to imaginary WHR website schedules; any confirmed will be added later. We are still waiting! If you see some strange Havana frequencies here: we include confirmed and pervasive mixing products: reality. Many broadcasts on WRMI 9955 are jammed by Cuba. Please direct complaints to Arnie Coro Nevertheless, we include his program and try to keep up with the latest changes, of which there have been many since last update.
