I haven't heard the English service of the BBC on 9525 for a couple weeks
and their 5975 service doesn't seem to be on before 0200 UTC. Last summer
11835 was in use at this time but doesn't seem to be used at the moment.

Is there a reliable BBC frequency catchable on the USA west coast from 0000
or 0100?

The BBC no longer uses 9525 as of 27 March. The new frequency is
9825-but only between 0200-0300, a broadcast of The World Today (current
events), fine if your interest is news, otherwise you're out of luck.
The East Asia service is audible in California on 15280 (Thailand) and
15360 (Singapore) after 0000, but that fades out after local sunrise in
Asia around 0300. That also has a different schedule, for example it
plays The World Today at 0000 according to the BBC website. The BBC has
drastically cut back broadcasts to the Americas, probably with an eye on
eliminating them entirely for A06, leaving us out in the cold.
