First B26 Schedule Update:
KBS World Radio posted its schedule B26 winter season for English transmission directed to India on their website as early as August 31st. It will be on air on 9630kHz in place of 9785kHz effective from October 25th.
The reception of KBS World in English has been very poor on 31mb during 1400-1600utc here for a long time due to moderate to strong co-channel/adjacent channels interference. Most of the time nothing of KBS World English is audible here at all.
BBC World Service English:
BBC World Service In English recently replaced its evening frequency 17835kHz during 1200-1300utc with 17745kHz (via Al Seela,Oman 250kW). The reception has been excellent as per latest monitoring observation all.
Meanwhile HFCC has already released a tentative B26 winter transmission schedule and which is now availble at
https://new.hfcc.org/data/b26/
And the news is not encouraging at all for South Asia from BBC World Service. After checking the tentative schedule ...
BBC World Service has deteled its morning 0000-0200utc and the evening 1200-1400utc transmission to our region.
Let listen to this BBC World Service announcement which I recorded around 0059utc on 9590kHz ( directed to South Asia via Tashkent) this morning today viz. the last day of A26(summer) season of broadcasting i.e.October 24th of 2026..

Wavescan Reception Update:
Wavescan. the International DX Program ,researched & written by Dr.Adrian Peterson in Indiananapolis & Ray Robinson in Los Angles , produced at the studio of Radio Miami International(WRMI) , Okeechobee,Florida USA and now is on air as per the following schedule primarily to India on sunday via Kununurra,(100kW),Reach Beyond Australia facility effective March 29-October 24,2026
on 15400kHz during 1330-1400utc.
And from June onwards for a few sundays , the overall reception of the transmission here in my place had been due to poor signal strength(QSA) and increase of noise (QRN) i.e.noisy reception condition.
Here is a brief summary of reception on 15400kHz on sundays...from my monitoring notes..Monitorings had been done by Grundig YB 400 & Yaseu FT 891 Rig with end fed long wire antenna.
