HOME presents... SELECTED ENGLISH LANGUAGE DX\SWL\MEDIA PROGRAMS ON SHORTWAVE Plus a few selected Mailbags and other goodies! January 31, 2012 Compiled by Glenn Hauser Updates and correxions from users and userettes are always welcome. Radio Bulgaria closes down at the end of January! The DX program is continue on webcast for the time being, but this listing is only about shortwave broadcasts. 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 had been eliminated due to imaginary WHR website schedules; if anyone really hears it on SW, let us know. Yes: two airings have now been entered. From this page, enter Marie Lamb in Program Host field to bring up all the alleged times, many of which are probably really only on webcast, not SW. 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 changes. As of Jan 1, WRMI reduced SW 9955 schedule on weekdays to 00-15 UT, meaning elimination of many DX program times, but should continue on webcasts; remains 24 hours on weekends.
