The text of the message says that BBCWS will only be broadcasting for 1 hour on 15190 from 1300-1400 but the web page says that frequency will be on from 1000-1700. Which is correct?

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).
