Here is a transmission schedule for English language offerings by Radio
France International.  I received it yesterday in response to a request
sent last week (!!), so I assume it is current.  It doesn't say when it is
current UNTIL.  Times are in UTC.
 
1230-1300   15365, 17575, 9805, 11670, 15155, 15195
 
1400-1500   17695, 11910, 17650, 17695
 
1600-1700   11705, 17620, 17795, 17850, 12015, 15530, 6175
 
Of these, only 15365 & 17575 are advertised as beamed to North America.
However, I have been able to listen to 17620 (supposedly beamed to West
Africa) pretty frequently over the past few months, so there must be lots
of other determinants besides where they are aiming.  Hence, I have
included everything and suggest you try them for yourself.  (I have known
about 15365 and 17575 for quite a while, but have never succeeded in
hearing those, even tho beamed at ME.)
 
Now my question:  In their schedule, RFI said their English news/features
are relayed by Radio Caribbean Intl at 1430, 1630 and 1900 UTC.  But, my
copy of Passport contains not a trace concerning this station.  Can
anybody give me a clue regarding frequencies.  All contributions kindly
received; no questions asked.
