CALENDAR OF SW SPECIALS, FAREWELLS Dates, days and times are strictly UT
MONDAY JUNE 18 + This is the final week for Radio Canada International, probably also for CBC NQ 9625, and relays via Sackville. You may want to make an effort to listen more than usual before the Last Days scheduled below. THURSDAY JUNE 21 2130-2145 British Antarctic Survey special, 9850 & 5950 Skelton UK, 7360 Ascension; or may be 2130-2200, and possibly on WED JUNE 20 instead UPDATE: Wolfgang Bueschel asked Martin Goulding of BaBcoCk Woofferton which date is correct, and he replied June 22 = Friday! We can only suggest trying June 20, 21 and if still not heard, 22. BTW, HFCC shows that KBS in French via France is on 5950 at 20-22, but EiBi and Aoki say only 20-21.

Presumably many of them will last be aired on June 30, altho the Sackville relays may have ended a week earlier. See http://www.hfcc.org/data/schedbybrc.php?seas=A12&broadc=VAT Many of the SMG transmissions to elsewhere are audible in NAm; also via Madagascar; and especially BONAIRE: 0030-0200 15470 in Portuguese, Spanish; 0230-0250 6040, 9610 in French. Since these are after 0000 UT, will their last day be UT June 30 or July 1? UPDATE: VR will continue to the Americas via Bonaire according to its website, including 0030 Portuguese 15470 (says Jorge Freitas) and 0230 French 9610 (says Jean-Michel Aubier).
