United States, R Free Asia
This current Radio Free Asia summer schedule, supersedes all other RFA schedules that have recently been published in hobby newsletters, email news groups and blogs, as part of the IBB/BBG frequency adjustments from July 1, 2014. This version, directly from the station’s frequency manager, is effective July 12. It does not separate the various language services, by broadcast days, or “frequency hopping.” Instead, it reflects what Radio Free Asia is currently broadcasting at what time and frequency.  Any adjustments to this schedule will be posted as those occur.
