So, all your WOR shows are minus one hour UTC. Plus, there will be the extra 6160 kHz outlet during European evenings as follows: 2230 UT Friday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1430 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1730 UT Saturday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2130 UT Sunday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 0830 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 6160; 1930 UT Monday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 2330 UT Tuesday SW Radio, Germany 3975; 1930 UT Wednesday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160; 1630 UT Thursday SW Radio, Germany 3975 & 6160.
