Stations from the Eastern Caribbean unheard during daytime – a.o.:
530 Turks & Caicos Islands – Radio Vision Cristiana (planning to return with 100 kW during 2016)
820 St. Kitts & Nevis – Radio Paradise (off – status unknown)
* 1090 US Virgin Islands – WUVI (off air since late October 2015 due to damaged transmitter. Expects to be
back sometime January 2016 with newly purchased transmitter)
1300 St. Maarten – The Voice of St Maarten (and don’t go to their website; it has got a virus)
1310 Martinique – Martinique 1ère (but heard from fade in around 21 UTC (17 LT) with local programming.
France Inter ID’s noted at 22 and 23 LT). Weak signal – mixing with other stations. Distance St. CroixMartinique is only 500 km sea path – so must be running low power (a few hundred Watts?)
1690 US Virgin Islands – WGOD (off – status unknown. Station does not reply to e-mails)
