Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Bill Tilford, who shares the following schedule:

Our transmissions at 2300 UTC have been changed from 3955 to 9670 using Channel 292’s booster beam aimed at the Caribbean, which should also allow for good listening in some other parts of the Americas.

The 1700 UTC transmissions may occasionally bounce into parts of SE Asia and Oceania depending upon propagation conditions.

From the Isle of Music, August 10, 2024
We will feature music from the Música Bailable Actual (Current Dance Music) category of Cubadisco 2024

Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot, August 17, 2024
Our special guest Daryana Antipova, a member of the Transglobal World Music Chart who curates Russian and Balkan world music charts, will give us a taste of world music bands in Russia and by Russian world music bands working in other countries.

Times and frequencies for both programmes:
1700-1800 UTC 9670 kHz with beam E-F towards South Asia but listenable in Eastern Europe and parts of Eurasia
