I have noticed that the world service has been missing on
11835 lately and tonight they are missing on 5975. I have
resorted to listening to them on 6195 for tonight.

They either are having transmitter trouble or they have
changed their schedule.


BBC was also not on 12095. I also had trouble with the usually
reliable 6020 for Australia this morning. I thought it was
propagation.

They are currently up on 12095 at 1645.


12095 is usually not good here. I looked around on the BBC site and
it looks like 11835 is a summer frequency. I think they went to
from 11835 to 9525 for the winter.

5975 always booms in here so I have no idea why it was missing
Thursday night. When I did not find them on 5975 I scanned the 49
meter band and I recall finding them on 6195 for some reason. That
night I also listened to them on 9525 and 6135.

12095 returned as noted by another listener. I listen on SSB b/c of
an annoying teletype signal. I don't know what that is. I've had
BBC on 6195, but I get various bits of interfering signals on 6135
and 9525. I haven't really tried to ID them, but it's something
non-English. I'm a long way north of you maybe 2500 miles and 1000
west.

Sorry to hear about the interference problems. I don't have that
problem just that 12095 is usually to weak for me to want to listen to
it. 6135 is not a strong signal for me either. 5975 is usually very
strong and 9525 seems to be as well. 11835 was good a while back.

All other BBC frequencies for me are weak most of the time. Other than
frequencies I mentioned above and a few others beamed to Mexico the next
best bet for me appears to be frequencies beamed to Africa.

I had to look at Mexico schedule (central America) to find any short
wave frequencies beamed to this part of the world. As you know they
just provide FM and now Sirius and XM satellite to the USA.

The BBC world service web site is real slow.
