Radio Philipinas Worldwide English:
Noted BCDXER & Amateur Radio operator, Mr.Abhijit Mondal(VU2OWB) from Khaspur,West Bengal observed  resumption of normal broadcast of Radio Philipinas Worldwide English upto 0330utc recently in this B20 season.Thanks to my friend VU2OWB for sharing this information and bringing to my notice.Due to outbreak of Covid 19 ,the transmission hour was reduced this summer.

Now as per the announcement on air,Radio Philipinas Worldwide English can be heard on  15640kHz,17800kHz and 17820kHz during 0200 to 0330utc.But as per my air check, the transmission is audible on 15640 & 17820kHz in my location.

Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation(SLBC) External Service Hindi:
SLBC Ext Serv. Hindi was off the air on 11905kHz in the first week of November perhaps from November 5th.And as per news posted in a DX Group it was off the air  because of corona virus  infection of its staff.

But on sunday last i.e. November 8th , I heard SLBC Hindi back on air with good signal on its usual frequency 11905kHz from 0034utc to 0059utc.And towards the end around 0058utc ,lady presenter announced about the end of today's transmission & word of caution with the inccrease threat of corona virus.It is now clear to me why I not being able to hear the 2nd half of transmission i.e. from 0200 to 0230utc on 11905kHz for sometime now.Actually SLBC Hindi now is now on air only during 0030 to 0059utc on 11905kHz.
It is be noted during this 0030-0059utc  transmission includes around 12-15 minutes of Gospel Program in Bengali.This is still continuing.
Its a unique arrangement.

Here is the link to the audio file recorded around 0034utc on 11905kHz on November 8th:

Radio Taiwan International (RTI) English on 6185kHz:
RTI English has changed its 1600-1700utc frequency of 9405kHz to 6185kHz from November 1.The reception has been good here in my area so far as per my monitoring.

Voice Of Mongolia(VOM) English:
Voice Of Mongolia English is facing moderate to heavy interference from a broadcasting station as usual during its 0900 to 0930utc transmission on 12085kHz.It is in the form of side band splatter from 12080kHz.It is very difficult to copy VOM English transmission on 12085kHz.It is happening for a long time.I wrote many times earlier about it and request for a change of frequency above 12085kHz.But till today no action has been taken.It may be it is happening in our area also and in other areas of the target region its broadcast is reaching without any problem.
Here is the link to the audio file recorded of VOM-English around 0905utc on November 2nd:
