I was aware this was forthcoming; thanks to Kim Elliott for flagging
the specific link.
Remarkable that the BBC somehow can't fund a transmitter for an hour
(0100-0200) somewhere that could reach Eastern North America...such as
WYFR (which they already use) or WHRI (the old WSHB). Even at $100 /
transmitter-hour this would cost $36,500 for the year.
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/frequencies/index.shtml
for the notice; here are the new frequencies as of the A-05
changeover:
To the Caribbean:
6195 1000-1100 UT
11865 1100-1300
15190 1300-1400
11675 2100-2130
15390 2100-2200
5975 2200-0100
To Central America:
5975 0300-0400
9605 1200-1300
To South America:
5975 0200-0300
9825 0200-0300
11720 2130-2145
12095 0200-0300
15190 1200-1300
We'll have to rely on broadcasts targeting Europe, Africa and the
Pacific (for our left coast friends).
