Israel Radio shortwave broadcasts

[Hope Ehn Dennis Ehn <ehn...>]

A daily half-hour English broadcast of Israel Radio can be heard daily at
19:00 UTC (3:00 pm EDT) on 7465, 9435, 11605, 15615, and 15640. On the
East Coast of North America, 11605 seems to be the best frequency. 

There are also two other English broadcasts, which are more difficult to
hear on the East Coast. One is a half-hour broadcast at 14:00 UTC (10:00
am EDT), supposedly on 12077 and 15615. 12077 doesn't come in very well; 
15615 is strong, but carrying a Hebrew broadcast! The other is a 15-minute
broadcast at 04:00 UTC (12 midnight EDT), on 7465, 9435, and 17545.
Unfortunately, 7465 also has Norwegian Radio on it, 9435 is noisy, and
17545 is too high to be heard after dark (and is aimed at Australia). 

There are two Yiddish broadcasts daily. The first is for 25 minutes at
16:00 UTC (12 noon EDT) on 7395, 9435, 9845, 11585, and 11605. The second
is for half an hour at 17:00 UTC (1:00 pm EDT) on 9435, 9845, 11585, and
11065. I would suggest, for the East Coast of North America, that 11605
would probably be the best frequency, with 9435 the next one to try. 

There is also a 15-minute Ladino broadcast, but on a frequency that is
probably too low to be heard well in North America at that time of day. 
The time is 16:45 UTC (12:45 pm EDT). 

There used to be a short daily broadcast in Easy Hebrew. As far as I can
determine from the official schedule, this has been discontinued. 

One of the Hebrew-language domestic networks is relayed on shortwave 24
hours a day.`Frequencies, which change according to the time of day,
include 9388, 11585 (sometimes 11588), 15615, and 17545.
