Voice stations

E03

The Lincolnshire Poacher is off the air.

E03a (E04)

Cherry Ripe, the sister station of the Lincolnshire Poacher, is still on the air. I have asked dxers in Japan and Australia to check the last confirmed schedules (see below). They have found a number of them but the signal is often bad and difficult to hear.

Last confirmed schedules (early 2008)
