Thanks Steve. But I thought their evening broadcasts were to the Americas.
I don't see an English schedule for broadcasts to the Americas. Did that go
away?

Anyone know what happened to VOA? I used to hear them each night on

5995
and 7130. Now they're silent. I know they've cut back, and I've seen

the
full frequency list, but I'm wondering if others have heard them on

specific
frequencies that are better for reception in the evenings on the east

coast
of NA.

Thanks.


Here is the sked:
