WRMI on new 5010; replacing 9455 with 5950

The updated WRMI schedule now has 5010 kHz (replacing 5950 for part of the day) 2200-0100  UTC, targeting Cuba, the Caribbean and Central America.

Programming scheduled on 5010:
2200-2300 RAE Argentina al Mundo
2300-0000 Family Radio espanol
0000-0030 AWR Cuba
0030-0100 Radio Slovakia (Spanish)

(Voice of the Report of the Week – VORW previously scheduled Fridays 0100-0200 on 5950 is not scheduled on 5010, but is still on 5850 and 7780 during this hour on Fridays).

** U S A. 5950, May 15 at 0558, WRMI back here with Oldies, S9+10/20 // JBA 9395, 0559 Biermann ID, 0600 VOA News axually on the hour! Good job by Victor Beatty (sp?) with hardly a stumble; also objectively good about the Israeli/embassy/Gaza uprising. 0606 Dish TV commercial!, 0607 back to Oldies.  Much better signal than 5950 used to have here.

#14 at 181 degrees on 5010 was to be activated late May 14, replacing 5950. Now scheduled: 22-23 M-F  RAE Spanish, 23-24 Fámily Radio, 00-0030 AWR Cuba in Spanish, 0030-01 Eslovaquia; 11-1130 AWR Cuba, 1130-12 Radio Praga, 12-1230 Friday only, Yeshua. 

But a bigger unpreviewed change is:

5950 replacing 9455! And now on the air 24 hours, even all day when a much higher band should have been used, 11, 13 or even 15 MHz. All the 9455 programming, much of which duplicated various other frequencies such as 9955 and 7780 at certain hours, is now shown on 5950, #5 which is now on the 285 degree antenna, like 9455 used to be. 

Notably 5950 includes: 01-02 Tue-Sat RAE English // 9395; 08-10 RAE Japanese & Chinese (program schedule now claims Chinese Tue-Sat at 08-09 is on 5850, 5950 and 7730, Japanese at 09-10 on 5950 only; but the transmission schedule shows Japanese at 08-09, Chinese at 09-10; which is it???); 10-11 variety including WORLD OF RADIO at 1030 Wednesdays; 11-14 variety // 9955; 20-22 variety including WORLD OF RADIO Tue 2030 & 2130 // 7780; 22-23 variety // 9955. Much of the rest of the time is filled by Oldies.

Also shows RUI daily at 0200-0230 on 7780, no more WOR on UT Sundays (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
