0200 nice strong signal, unlike the old tx from Nauen which was always variable even when it was good. Looking at WRMI's programming grid, I think they're airing just one hour tonight and the second hour tomorrow at the same time and frequency.

Jan 28 (Saturday) - WRMI relay of The Mighty KBC with The Giant Jukebox, on 7780 kHz., from tune in at 0805+ UT;
pop music (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - "Woodstock, We Are Stardust," etc. I attended a wonderful performance they
did back in 1969 at the Big Sur Festival; along with Joan Baez, her sister Mimi Baez Fariņa, and also Joni Mitchell, John
Sebastian, etc.; held just down the coast from me. Very memorable!).

Here is the Mighty KBC's program schedule on WRMI from the KBC website (as of Jan. 10).  It does indicate that they are also looking to return to 6095 this year:
https://www.kbcradio.eu/index.php?dir=shows/6095
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."

Nice of them to get that all together in one place - the WRMI grid is, shall we say, challenging to read (though at this point I have their system figured out). I'm glad for the multiple broadcasts as Sundays 2200-2400 UTC on 5950 was a no go here in January, so it definitely wasn't going to improve as the sun returns to our hemisphere. And I like that there's a Sunday 0000-0200 option on 9455 so I can still have it as a backup when pirates are scarce or generally not good at my QTH.

Interesting bit about 6095 - that's one of Nauen's frequencies, making one wonder why this would work but the old deal they had didn't.
