Additional WRMI Frequencies for B15


WRMI has reactivated and added new frequencies to their B15 programme schedule. Included are more day/night pairing frequencies rather than low/high frequencies, all day and night. A spread sheet showing the breakdown of this may be viewed HERE.

FREQUENCIES & TIMES
* 7.780 kHz -- 22.00-12.00 UTC
* 15.770 kHz -- 12.00-22.00 UTC

* 11. 920 kHz -- 22.00-12.00 UTC
* 17.790 kHz -- 12.00-22.00 UTC

* 6.915 kHz -- 24 hours

* 5.765 kHz -- 00.00-13.00 UTC
* 11.825 kHz -- 13.00-24.00 UTC

*7.570 kHz -- 22.45-14.00 UTC
*13.695 kHz -- 14.00-22.45 UTC

* 7.730 kHz -- 22.45-14.00 UTC
* 15.440 kHz -- 14.00-22.45 UTC

* 5.950 kHz -- 20.00-13.00 UTC
* 9.450 kHz -- 13.00-20.00 UTC


To date I have been unable to receive WRMI on many of the above stated additional frequencies, presumably owing to QRM from regional stations (primarily China), propagation, time  and/or  positioning of WRMI's antennae.

The best frequency for WRMI remains 9.955 kHz, usually from 23.45 UTC until as late as 00.30 UTC. In  past years this frequency was audible from around 11.00 UTC; however, this year, whenever the signal propagates well (which is not every day), only a faint carrier and occasionally indecipherable audio is present.

The next best frequency is 11.920 kHz, but I hasten to add, after listening for several days now, it has yet to match the strength and clarity of 9.955 kHz. On a really good day, WRMI on 11.580 kHz is audible, but still never as strong as 9.955 kHz.

On 21 February 2016, I did receive the following WRMI programmes here in Malaysia:
RadioUkraine International // 11.580 kHz // SINPO 14321 // English  // 23.30-00.00 UTC  
Radio Slovakia International // 11.580 kHz // SINPO 24331 // Slovak // 00.00-00.30 UTC 
Overcomer Ministry // 11.920 kHz // SINPO 34322 - signal drifted in around 23.20 UTC // English // 23.30-00.00 UTC 
Overcomer Ministry // 9.955 kHz // SINPO 24432 clear, audible and discernible speech // English // 00.15 UTC
