BBC World Service English Update

BBC World Service English In The Morning 0100-0200utc:
Acting on a tip from Jose Jacob(VU2JOS) from Hyderabad,I also observed this morning (November 24th) BBCWS English has moved to 6035kHz during 0100-0200utc replacing 5875kHz.There was nothing audible on 5875kHz during that time slot.I think 5875kHz was from Uzbekistan Relay from 0000-0200utc.It is be monitored whether 6035kHz replaced 5875kHz for entire 0000-0200utc.
From the  audio tone(modulation) quality , it appears to me, it is from Uzbekistan relay.There was slight noise there with audio.
Here is the audio file link recorded around 0122utc on 6035kHz.
And on the parallel 7430kHz (via Oman) during 0100-0200utc,though it was previouly strong signal strength no noise etc there, today(i.e.on November 24th), I observed noise plus co-channel interference, but due to stronger signal strength the audio could be copied comfortably.
Here is the link to the audio file recorded around 0146utc of BBCWS on 7430kHz this morning.

Thanks VU2JOS for his alert message.

For monitoring,I used both my Grundig YB 400 & 80 with my 40/20mb Inverted V centre feed dipole.But the audio files I recorded from my Grundig YB 400.


More observations/monitoring reports etc from time to time.
