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.

an annoying teletype signal. I don't know what that is. I've had

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.

I couldn't hear Africa on 6005 last night (0500 UTC), which is normally
reliable. It was barely there. What other times and frqs are you getting
BBC-Afr ? I like this stream b/c its so different in focus at least part
time.

Satellite radio is available here, mostly used by truckers who are going day
and night, and people north of 60 (in the NWT and Nunavut) where you can't
get much other than CBC-northern service (if that).

I can hear "The world at 6" locally at 4 p.m. (2200 UTC) on 6090, which
actually for N Quebec and the eastern arctic. Problem with northern
reception is those pesky northern lights I guess. We're getting sun from
9:30 to 3:30 at this time of year. Lots of aurora activity this fall. Bad
reception last night, very good this morning. More snow coming today too.
Low overnight -13C, 8F. Pretty nice for this time of year.

Pretty nice? Arnie, if it get's that bad here I certainly wouldn't consider it
very nice!

Currently 46F, heading down to 37F overnight. We were in the 20'sF a week or so
ago for lows.

Guess I really better check the anti-freeze in the car though.

-23C last night (-9F). It's got to be -30C (-22F) before we really start
whining. We get into the -40's (same for F and C) for 6-8 weeks sometime
in mid-Dec to early Feb. So yes, this is quite nice right now. It all
depends on what you compare to! We had -54C (-65F) one day last year.
Things get very still and sound travels extremely well outside when if gets
cold. You can dress to be outside for just about anything. Cars, on the
other hand, really hate it when it gets that cold. I've always felt that
radio reception is better when it's colder. I don't know that this is
really true or the explanation.

What kind of receiver? If the 40 meter ham band is busy, my single
conversion FR-200 is really stuffed up from the images 910 kHz
higher.

Have you guys tried the 15280 kHz signal from Thailand, 23:00-05:30 UTC?

No, I haven't listened to that time and frequency. I just missed it
now. I take it that it comes in very well for you and that is why you
mentioned it. If I catch it I'll let you know how it comes in for me.
Is this a daily broadcast?

I spend most of my listening time on the RX-340 and R8B in the computer
/ radio room. The other table top receiver I own AOR 7030+ is for
bedside listening. Traveling it is the Sony 7600 with a roll up wire
antenna. I have been thinking about getting the Sony portable loop
antenna AN-LP1.

I wouldn't say it comes in very well, but it's often just as good
as 9525 or 5975 on a poor day. These days it seems to be S1 to S3
on the meter, relativly low noise and interference from 15290/15295?
is not a problem on a better receiver.

It starts an hour earlier during a boring time of day, and is on the East
Asian track (same as 9740, the morning frequency) so the programs are
different, and sometimes you can catch one you missed on the Caribbean
targeted broadcasts.
