"A23" International Summer Schedules - WRTH %   
Saturday, July 15 2023

HCDX


OMAN/SINGAPORE Not Singapore Kranji, but just before the beginning of the

UT July 14 at 0300 UT BBCWS transmission via Oman on 12095 kHz, I heard a

bit more of the special announcement.

The first part was cut off due to an azimuth change,but the remainder said

"— you will no longer hear us on this shortwave frequency. You can listen

to the BBC 24hours a day at BBCWorldService.com." Judging from the similar

announcement via Singapore, it is likely the missing part was "This is the

BBC World Service. Starting (date)—" then the rest of the message.

The announcement is inserted over the usual promo that runs at 0259:30 UT,

and only the last time pip is heard.

Again this seems to indicate that additional transmissions in English to

the Middle East are about to be discontinued.

Recording of announcement of BBCSingapore closure recorded by me yesterday

On July 14 at 13.30 UT still on Burmese sce 7465even and 9585 kHz til 14UT

S=9+15dB on Kiwi SDR at Hanoi-VTN; S=9+30dB in Kiwi SDR at Bangkok,

S=9+5dB fair signal at Kiwi SDR at Bandung-INS.

But at 13.59 UT also TWR IS theme heard loud and steady, heard from

TWR Manzini E'Swatini on odd 9584.981 kHz.

BBC Singapore Kranji site transmission.

6195even on Fri July 14 at 22.19UT noted BBC English sce on 22-24 UT,

S=9+15dB signal strength in Perseus unit net at Delhi-IND.

Same sce on 7465even at S=9+5dB level at 22.25 UT on July 14.

strength at Doha Qatar Perseus SDR unit net.

[selected SDR options, span 12.5 kHz RBW 15.3 Hertz]

(wb df5sx, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 4 / 14 / 15 )

SINGAPORE 12025 kHz July 12 at 1627 UT, BBC English relay for ME, S5/S8

direct and insufficient to copy on ITS FINAL DAY. Walt Salmaniw, BC-CAN

reported at 1503 UT:

"[WOR] BBC Singapore Kranji off from tomorrow 13 July 2023. Listening to

12025 just before 15:00 with the BBC bells, and then an announcement that

the BBC site at Singapore is going off the air tomorrow and will no longer

be available. They gave an internet option only. Very good into Masset-

BC-CAN, although there is a weak sounding grinding sound either from the

transmitter (I think), or another transmitter. Walt"

Kai Ludwig, Germany replies: "The exact wording: "We start to tell you

that from tomorrow we're closing our Singapore Kranji transmitter."

So much for the replacements effective 16 July, as still shown in the

public HFCC data.

So it could be that the very last Kranji transmission has already started,

even that the St Mary-le-Bow bells have already for the very last time

introduced a BBC transmission, or are they still inserted anywhere else?

Anyway: The very first piece of hard evidence at all. And perhaps the only

statement from the BBC on this matter at all. Kai Ludwig"

And Kai provides this historic recording July 12, 2023, at 1459 UT:
