[Swprograms] Re: BBC WS to further reduce frequencies to the Americaswith A-05 schedule



Sorry Richard...  I didn't read your reply to Glen carefully enough.  
 
Given the BBC's unsympathetic response to previous complaints there is probably no point even writing but if people want to protest where do we write.  
 
Where the loss will be really felt will be for Sportworld on the weekend which is not stramed online.

	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?

		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).
