Hi Thomas,<\/p>\n

Greenville has recently begun shortwave broadcast to Ukraine to support Cubans in that country. We are broadcasting four hours daily in Spanish with programming supplied by the OCB. We are on 17680 KHz<\/del>, 1700-2100 UTC MO-FR and 17865 KHz, 1300-1700 UTC SA-SU.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Due to a conflict with NHK on the new summer schedule, our 17680 KHz frequency has been changed to 17690 KHz to provide a clear frequency<\/p>\n

Thank yo for the update, Macon! Great to hear that the Greenville site is beaming into Europe again!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
