WRMI set to broadcast Encore-Classical Music program this weekend


EUROPE:
This coming weekend Encore - Classical Music on Radio Tumbril will be broadcast at 11:00 UTC on SATURDAY on 6070 kHz by Channel 292.
There are two repeats - 19:00 UTC Friday on 6070 kHz, and 09:00 UTC on Sunday on 7440 kHz by Channel 292.

NORTH AMERICA:
WWCR Nashville will broadcast Encore for the last time on Saturday at 21:00 UTC on 9350 kHz.
Many thanks to WWCR for relaying Encore to the US and Canada for the last few months.

WBCQ Maine will send out the show on 7490 kHz at 01:00 UTC Monday to the US. (Early evening Sunday local US - obviously.)

WRMI will begin broadcasting Encore to the US and Canada on 5850 kHz 01:00 UTC Sunday and 9455 kHz 03:00 UTC Monday this weekend.

Our email is  encoretumbril@gmail.com. Informal reception reports as well as those requesting eQSL welcome.

This week's program contains some music for organ and trumpet, a couple of Swedish folk songs, chamber music from Tchaikovsky, some Brahms, Ravel, Marin Marais, and a contemporary composition by Cheryl Frances-Hoad.

A very mixed selection as usual - but they seem to go well together. I hope you enjoy the sequence.
The playlist is on the website and will be updated soon after Saturday's broadcast of the new show by Channel 292 at 11:00 UTC - but probably not until Sunday evening.

Both Channel 292 and WBCQ as well as WWCR can be pulled live off the internet if the reception is poor in your location. Easy to find their sites with a google search.

In the meantime - thank you for spreading the word about Encore - Classical Music on Shortwave. And thank you to everyone for letting us know how well the signal is received where you live.
