Synd., Cypress Creek, SC Keywords: SCHEDULE KHBI WCSN WSHB Lines: 240 Hello again netlanders. It is time to post the schedules for the Christian Science Monitor stations, but first a list of our usenet services. 1) The mail address letterbox@csms.com goes directly to Boston. Any correspondence to letterbox will wind up in the mailbox of the same person who screens the paper letters. Feel free to use this route for comments or requests just as if it were a regular post office box. (Please include a regular surface mail address and, if you choose, a telephone number on any correspondence.) 2) The mail address letterbox-tech@csms.com will be delivered both to Boston and the engineering staff here at WSHB. Please send any technical comments or questions about the stations or shortwave in general to this mailbox. (We will forward any station specific mail to the correct place.) [ Please note that if you have particular questions about your shortwave equipment, any responses we may send will be to point you in the right direction rather than trying to provide an engineering consulting service. ] 3) There is a mailbox sangean@csms.com to get information about obtaining Sangean ATS-803a's from us. This mailbox is forwarded to the Shortwave Response Hotline in Boston. We will be happy to send you order information either by e-mail or post, but we will _NOT_ accept any orders via e-mail, no exceptions. 4) As before, we still like postal letters at: World Service P.O.Box 860 -More- Boston, MA USA 02123 5) You may call us directly at the Shortwave Hotline at: +1 617 450 2929 The broadcast schedule for our stations from September 30, 1990 to March 31, 1991 follows. There are several changes this time. Most importantly, note that all of our transmitters will be on the air 24 hours a day on the weekends now. To accomplish this we had to juggle the frequencies somewhat. Notice that for some hours the frequency on Saturday and Sunday is different than the weekday frequency. Also, some frequencies with weekend coverage are still scheduled off-air during the week for maintenance. Additionally, in response to the growing population of American citizens in the Middle East we have added coverage to this area from KHBI at 1800 UTC on 13720 KHz on the 25M band.
