For All The Monitoring 
RIG Used:Yaesu FT 891 Ext Antenna: End Fed Long Wire
Place Of Reception:Abhayapuri (Assam)(India)

BBCWS To South Asia on 9750kHz ex 9670kHz:
As per information posted in facebook group, BBC World Sevice in English has changed its one of the frequencies during 0000-0200utc to South Asia from 9670kHz to 9750kHz.
On February 16th morning I did check the reception here in my place at Abhayapuri from 0025-0106utc and it was S9 over 20dB.I guess it is still being relayed from Tashkent,Uzbekistan. And also the transmission is gong on parallel 12095kHz (via Oman Relay) with also good reception overall.
Here is a few links to the audio files recorded on 16th instant.
on 9750kHz..

No Signal Of Wavescan Via Reach Beyond Australia On July 13th:
It was a very surprising to me when I found no trace of Wavescan, The Global DX Program produced at WRMI Florida,USA on 11870kHz from transmitter site of Reach Beyond Australia  from 1400utc onwards on sunday ,July 13th.I discontinued monitoring later.Later, our BCDX specialist from Hyderabad also reported faint signal there of the transmission.Lets hope for better propagation condition this sunday i.e.today ..July 20th.
As a reminder, Wavescan is now on air on sundays only from Reach Beyond Australia's transmitter site Kununurra(KNX)(100kW)
 Primarily To India ,1400-1430utc 11870kHz
 Primarily To Japan, 2230-2300utc 17650kHz 
I used to hear on 11870kHz with good reception.But on 17650kHz to Japan during 2230-2300utc, nothing was audible here at my place as per my monitoring for a few sundays.
