GH: The eagerly-awaited WRTH A-11 PDF update has been posted May 13, at http://wrth.org/files/WRTH2011IntRadioSuppl2_A11Schedules.pdf Note that voluntary donations are invited for this tremendous free resource, at http://wrth.org/updates_new.asp
Our comments on some of the WRTH A-11 update info after a quick look thru it; while some monitoring info has been incorporated, there is still too much reliance on ``official`` info: CUBA --- RADIO HABANA CUBA (RHC) (Gov) 1400-1800 ......s NAm 13750hab** 1400-1800 ......s SAm 15370hab**, 17750hab** 1400-1800 ......s Car 11690hab** 1400-1800 ......s CAm 13680hab** 1530-2000 ......s Car 11760hab ** "Aló Presidente" prgr. GH: As we have pointed out again and again, A,P never starts at 1400. On the increasingly rare occasions it is on, starts circa 1530 and may run well past 1800. Despite what the RHC website says. Is RHC really on the air midday Sundays only on this one frequency, 11760? Certainly have not noticed it here, and it is not on the RHC online frequency schedule --- but it`s unbelievable, still displaying ``11560`` instead of 17560 for some broadcasts to Europe. Needs check. BTW, we started to check the RHC frequency schedule http://www.radiohc.cu/index.php/de-interes/frecuencias.html on IE and found that the extraneous info in the right column has shifted to the left, overlaying the frequency schedule! No matter how it is sized. Looks OK on Firefox. CZECH REPUBLIC --- RADIO PRAGUE (Pub) kHz: 9955 Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 0600-0630 .....ss LAm 9955rmi 0900-0930 mtwtf.. LAm 9955rmi 1400-1430 daily LAm 9955rmi French Days Area kHz 1345-1400 daily LAm 9955rmi Spanish Days Area kHz 0200-0230 daily LAm 9955rmi 0530-0600 daily LAm 9955rmi 0830-0900 daily LAm 9955rmi GH: WRMI schedule grid shows Prague French is M-F only at 1330-1400, except on Tuesdays when there is an English gospel huxter curtailing it to 1345-1400, not at 1345 daily. English at 0600-0630 is axually 7 days a week, but you have to know that`s also what`s on the WRN relay M-F, not specified. See also SLOVAKIA, SWEDEN, USA: WRMI below FRANCE --- RADIO FRANCE INTERNATIONALE (RFI) (Gov) Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 0400-0500 daily EAf 9805iss, 11995iss 0500-0600 daily EAf 15160iss 0600-0700 daily CAf,WAf 11615iss 0600-0700 daily EAf 17800iss 0700-0800 daily CAf,WAf 15615iss GH: FYI, since we get all kinds of contradictory info about this, including that the 05-06 portion is Sat/Sun only. Is this so? MOROCCO --- RADIO MAROCAINE (Gov) kHz: 15341, 15345 Summer Schedule 2011 Arabic Days Area kHz 0900-1400 daily Af 15341nad* 1400-2100 daily Af 15345nad* Key: * One hour later from Aug. GH: I`ve heard 15345 past 2100, so am not convinced they are on the hour-earlier summer schedule; and is the switch really around 1400 instead of 1500? SLOVAKIA --- RADIO SLOVAKIA INTERNATIONAL (Pub) kHz: 9955 Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 0030-0100 mtwtf.. LAm 9955rmi GH: the English broadcast is really UT Tue-Sat SPAIN --- RADIO EXTERIOR DE ESPAÑA (REE) (Pub) * Includes news Mon-Fri in Basque, Catalan & Galician at 1230-1255 & 2330-2355, and news in French, English & Arabic from 1430-1440. GH: As we have reported repeatedly the 1230 broadcast (when it is on, not always) is only in Basque! The Catalan & Galician appear at 2330-2340, confirmed by our monitoring some weeks ago, and no Basque then. The 1430-1440 has been repeatedly confirmed in the following languages: Portuguese, French, English, Arabic, normally in that order. SWEDEN --- The R. Sweden English relays via WRMI are missed, not getting equal treatment to R. Prague and Slovakia. Now UT Thu & Fri only at 0130-0200. Of course, many other SW stations are really relayed by WRMI if the entire WRN relay blox were extracted. U S A --- THE OVERCOMER MINISTRY (Rlg) kHz: 9655, 13810, 17485 Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 1400-1600 daily Eu,NAf,ME 13810nau 1400-1600 daily Eu 9655mos 1500-1600 daily NAf 17485wer GH: That is the entire entry! Once again the Europeans refuse to recognize much more extensive broadcasts by TOM via WWCR, WWRB, WBCQ, up to 24 hours a day. US broadcasters don`t count. Buying time on them is no different than buying time from M&B. U S A --- UNIVERSITY NETWORK (Rlg) kHz: 1610, 6090, 11775 Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 1000-2200 daily NAm 11775aia 1600-1000 daily CAm 1610aia 2200-1000 daily NAm 6090aia GH: Like with TOM, lots of airtime via WWCR is ignored.

As we have pointed out repeatedly, there is now a LARGE gap on weekdays between 1315 and 1900(?) while 13570 is off the air. U S A --- WTWW (Rlg) kHz: 5755, 12100 Planned Summer Schedule 2011 Arabic Days Area kHz 1400-1700 daily NAm,Eu 12100tww English Days Area kHz 0500-0800 daily NAm,Eu,Af 5755tww 0800-1100 daily AUS 5755tww French Days Area kHz 2000-2300 daily NAm,Eu 12100tww German Days Area kHz 1700-2000 daily NAm,Eu 12100tww Portuguese Days Area kHz 0200-0500 daily NAm,Eu,Af 5755tww Russian Days Area kHz 1100-1400 daily NAm,Eu 12100tww Spanish Days Area kHz 2300-0200 daily NAm,Eu,Af 5755tww Note: Tentative schedule, see wwtw.us for latest info. GH: the WTWW website does not have any `latest info` (yet?). Above schedule misses their huge daytime signal on 9479 currently starting around 1300 (HFCC shows 9480 from 1200, to be 1100 from June). Tests have been carried out on 12100 using the second transmitter, but the above schedule makes it look as if there is one transmitter, on 5755 at night, 12100 day, including all those foreign languages, with English cut back to overnight only ---- what about the 24h Scriptures for America service currently on 9479/5755? BTW the link to `program sked` attempts to go only to SFAW, but it`s a dead link. As George McClintock told us without any scheduling details, the foreign languages are to be nothing but Bible readings, `Spoken Word of God`. U S A --- WWRB (Rlg) kHz: 2390, 3185, 3215, 5050, 9385 Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 0000-0400 daily NAm 2390wrb [ . . .] GH: 2390 is off the air for the summer, and 15795, not mentioned, is about to be tested in daytime, as we have been reporting. U S A --- WBCQ – THE PLANET kHz: 5110, 7415, 9330, 15420 Summer Schedule 2011 English Days Area kHz 0000-2400 daily NAm,CAm 9330bcq* 1700-2100 daily NAm,CAm 15420bcq* 1900-0400 daily NAm,CAm 7415bcq* 2200-0300 daily NAm,CAm 5110bcq* Key: * USB/AM. GH: it should always be pointed out that WBCQ times are approximate and subject to daily variations. In particular, 5110 has not been on the air daily for at least a year, but only on weekends with Area 51. Also, 7415 stays on way past 0400 at least on UT Sundays. There are also off-air breaks during the afternoons. Furthermore, 7415 (only) is not *USB/AM, but full AM. The WRTH 2011 has that same error. It also had both 7415 and 5110 as 24 hours, which may be available, but never used. U S A --- WRMI – RADIO MIAMI INTERNATIONAL kHz: 9955 Summer Schedule 2011 English/Spanish Days Area kHz 1400-1600 daily NAm 9955rmi 1600-1400 daily LAm 9955rmi The `NAm` service has been off the air since February 2010, as we have periodically reconfirmed. Yes, the WRMI grid updated as of May 11 via http://www.wrmi.net/pb/wp_d12a1732/wp_d12a1732.html does have the daily 14-16 block color-keyed as to NAm, but that does not make it so, only in theory. It`s on the same Carib/LAm antenna as at 16-14, unfortunately, until the NAm one finally may finally be repaired. BTW, the separate entry for R. Prague, English at 1400 is correctly shown as to LAm, not NAm. Target: CHINA (CHN) TAKAI SHINLINGDE SOUCHI (KEY TO OPEN THE SPIRIT) (Rlg) kHz: 7460 Summer Schedule 2011 Mandarin Days Area kHz 1100-1200 daily CHN 7460huw GH: an obscure service, promoting Taoism, pulled out to draw attention to it here altho it was in WRTH 2011 page 501, having started a year+ ago. Does it merit jamming like Falun Gong?
