Default BBCWS Africa freqs?

6030 is no good. It is almost 0400 as I post. I have about five or six
freqs for The World Today at 0500 that I will try. As I said, the
Singapore and Thailand relays are no good here in the evenings local,
since they are in daylight paths and it is around noon at the tx
sites. I doubt that they get out much in the middle of the day, along
with the sunspot minimum causing upper bands to be useless. According
to the BBC website, 6195 only has World Briefing, which is sort of a
news digest rather than an in depth newscast. It's sort of like CNN
Headline News instead of full CNN.


I'm getting 15335 and 15360 kHz here in Seattle at 2:00 UTC (7 PM PDT) ,
which is a half hour of The World Today. On a good day, try 15360,
17760, and 21660 at 5:00 UTC. They have come in on those frequencies then
in better years, (like last year).

Best bet for your news fix may be News Hour at 12:00 (5 AM PDT) on 9740 and
6195 kHz. I think they use the same staff for The World Today and
News Hour.

Insomnia radio update: 15360 was coming in ok here at Midnight (7 UTC),
another half hour of the World Today.
