Here is a few latest general monitoring observations from my location.
Yes,I was not very regular with my blog posting plus monitoring observations due to various reasons recently.I will try to be regular during this winter season.
First A Few Entries From My BC Monitoring Diary
1.Station KNLS Alaska In English via MWV(Madagascar Relay)
On October 5th morning,
I received an alert message from a radio monitor from Hyderabad as he heard KNLS English on 13760kHz around 0245utc.Yes,I also checked from time to time but not heard recently KNLS English during 0200-0258utc.Yes, from October 5th,I am listening to KNLS English via MWV on 13760kHz regularly upto today i.e.October 26th.But on October 14th,there was no audio (no modulation) only carrier was present during both 0200--0258utc & 0300-0358utc transmissionon 13760kHz Station KNLS English via MWV.But again On October 15th, the normal transmissions have on both transmissions.
It is interesting to note whether in B23 season from October 29th of 2023 to March 30th of 2024,both 0200-0258utc & 0300-0358utc continues or not.Earlier as my observation,usually 0300-0358utc transmission is regular and the 0200-0258utc transmission is only sometimes on air for a few days time to time.
2.Radio Thailand World Service English
Both transmissions i.e.0000-0030utc & 0200-0230utc on 15590kHz,Radio Thailand English is facing QRM i.e.jamming type noise as per my latest frequent monitoring observation..during 0000-0030utc, the noise usually comes around 0011utc onwards & its difficult to copy anything later.From 0200-0230utc, the noise is there right from the beginning, let wait for B23 season and as it is just a few days..beginning from October 29th,there may be frequency shift to 13750kHz.

3.BBC World Service English
On 7425kHz during 0000-0200utc
The reception has been great here with slight noise sometimes.
Here is the audio link recorded around 0005utc on October 14th:
On 15295kHz replacing long standing once all season BBCWS frequency of 15310kHz
Recently I got the information of BBC's channge of frequency to 15295kHz ex 15310kHz 1200-1400utc via a facebook radio group post.
Lets check the audio recorded around 1219utc on 15295kHz on October 15th:
4.Myanmar Radio on 9730kHz
Myanmar Radio is now on air on 9730kHz from the morning hours(0200utc or so) but no English transmission from 0230-0330utc slot yet and their signal quality & signal strength not very good.Sometimes interference co-channel from a radio station can be observed i.e.VOIRI Pasthu from 0220utc onwards for one hour.Sometimes nothing is audble.
More observations/reports etc from time to time.
