Re: [HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs Jan 24, 2009 - Serbia correxion correxion

** SERBIA [non]. Glenn, Did you ever monitor the 0100-0130 or 0200-0230 English language broadcasts of IRS (International Radio Serbia) on 6190 kHz this year? 

The reason I ask, is because I did listen to the 0100-0130 and the 
0200-0230 English language broadcasts of IRS on UT Friday, 1/23/09 
and I believe my receiver was tuned to 6190 kHz (not 6185 kHz). I 
will attempt to check this during their next scheduled English 
language broadcast to North America. Incidentally, the IRS website 
http://glassrbije.org/E/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=21&Itemid=34 
currently lists 6190 kHz (not 6185 kHz) as the frequency for these broadcasts. True, their website may still be reflecting old 2008 frequencies instead of updated 2009 frequencies. IRS reception was good here on 1/23/09 for both the 0100 and 0200 broadcasts. 

[Later:] I monitored the Serbian language broadcast of IRS (International Radio Serbia) from 0055 to 0130 on a frequency of 6190 kHz on UT Sunday, 1/25/09. As the schedule posted at the IRS website indicates, the 0100-0130 English language broadcast only occurs Monday-Saturday. I also received the 0200-0230 English language broadcast of IRS on 6190 on 1/25/09. IS from 0158-0159, ID at 0200, news from 0200-0211, musical selections from 0211-0227, ID and contact info at 0227, IS from 0228-0229, signoff at 0229. IRS reception was good here from 0055-0130 and fair (some noise & mild fading) from 0158-0229. I received no IRS signal on 6185 kHz from 0055-0230 on 1/25/09. Perhaps 6190 kHz is alive and well (Bill Hodges, Atlanta, GA; Kenwood R-2000, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST)

More than perhaps: never mind my previous report. No, I hadn`t heard IRS for sure on either frequency lately. Perhaps the 6185 report on 1/1 was an aberration. And when I did find them missing the night before during 0130-0200, that was because they are in a semi-hour break between the English transmissions. I was thinking they would be on in Serbian at that time without checking the schedule. Tnx for clearing this up (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
