6100 kHz. Many Cuban items; also "Voz de Amistad" and address in Florida
was given. Though not meant to my location target, the signal was strong
up to S=8 at deep night propagation. Back lobe of U.K. site?

Radio Republica is scheduled here 0200-0400 UT.
(Mauno Ritola-FIN, ibid.)
Yes, that one has not changed, so far. The schedule should now be, always

0200-0400 6100.

Macedonian, Bosnian and Georgian.
Critics blame the cuts on the hundreds of millions of dollars absorbed by
Alhurra, the U.S. government-funded Arabic television news channel.
ProPublica has published two reports on turmoil and waste at the network.
VOA employees have long been unhappy with the direction of the agency,
which currently broadcasts in 45 languages.
More than a third of VOA employees, nearly 500, signed a petition in 2004
protesting the "dismantling" of the agency. The protest came after the
creation of Alhurra and Radio Sawa, the Arab radio service that VOA
employees say relies on popular music and entertainment at the expense of
substantive news programming, VOA's hallmark. The services replaced VOA's
Arabic programming, which cost no more than $7 million a year. That's far
