Now - 12:24 UTC, I'm getting a crappy but understandable signal at 6025 KHz. Operators are speaking Spanish. I'm Just using an outdoor VHF/UHF antenna. According to this webpage, (https://shortwaveschedule.com/?now=true) I'm picking up Radio Red Patria Nueva, but there's no way I'm getting a 10 KW signal from La Paz Bolivia. I just heard the announcer's voice announce "Radio Marti." Is this coming from Miami?

Since my linked page is wrong, is there a better shortwave schedule page I can rely on?

I also get it at 6030, so we're talking about the same thing. The transmitter is roughly 800 miles from me, straight up the coast, so this makes sense.

Off topic, but a long time ago I went to college in Buffalo, N.Y. We had a lot of good times in Fort Erie, just over the border.

Steve,

I wanted to start a P.M. with you about the "old days," but looks like your privacy settings prohibit this. If you don't mind chatting, could you send me a P.M.? If not, I respect your privacy.

I use Short-wave.info, and the EiBi test listing that I keep open in a browser tab on my tablet computer.... EiBispace. de.

Between the two of them you get a fairly accurate picture of what's on.
