U.K. Re: BBC has updated its frequency pages and grids.
Checking Kiwi-net SDRs in Thailand and Japan at 1050 UT on July 19:
As expected, NO SIGNAL from BBCWS on 15640 kHz; this is (erroneously)
listed on the BBCWS frequencies webpage, but NOT registered with the
HFCC.org
A bit of a surprise at 1100UT: Checking various SDRs in Thailand, Vietnam,
Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Western Australia, POOR
RECEPTION of BBCWS on 9410 kHz at all those sites. HFCC registration has
this as 250kW at 200 degrees from Tinang, but signal level far below what
might be expected, even in the supposed beam of the transmission. Actually
another site? Had the thought it might be Tashkent; if so, higher frequency
needed.
Listening 12 and 13 hours earlier the BBC frequencies from Tinang were much
stronger.
When listening direct here in Houston, 9410 had provided a fair signal from
Singapore, and that was the case on July 16 when Tinang was to come into
use, but the next day very poor reception, and the day after just a flutter.
Did not check direct today. I have wondered if the July 16 reception was
actually a last gasp from Kranji, as the site had been on that day for the
morning transmissions to Asia.
