KN(I)TS-1680 in Seattle is now Radio Punjabi // KKDZ-1250. KNTS had been conservative talk //KKOL-1300. The change seemed to take place July 23, or possibly July 22.
The audio on 1250 is over a minute behind 1680. As of today, the station is running IDS for KKDZ and KNTS at the ToH, after a couple days with IDs only for KKDZ .
KKDZ’s 1250 signal has been quite weak in Seattle since it moved to its current site east of Auburn WA about a year ago. It is often buried under KWSU and KNEU, so the simulcast makes sense in order to have any Seattle listeners.

Midwinter’s Day in Antarctica is a week away (21st June) and BBC, as in previous years, will have a half hour broadcast to British Antarctic Survey (BAS) staff over-wintering at BAS bases there.
“The Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast is unlike anything else on the BBC World Service. Every year, we make this special programme for just 32 listeners: The team of scientists and support staff isolated at British research stations in the Antarctic midwinter. Presented by Cerys Matthews, the programme features messages from family and friends at home as well as music requests from Antarctica. For decades it has been part of the traditional midwinter celebrations.” https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3ct5hqt
BBC programme website above shows three scheduled broadcasts at:
Checking HFCC today, there are 4 x 15 minute BBC English broadcasts registered this evening (14 June 2023) 2130-2145 UTC to CIRAF zones 67 & 73 (Antarctica) so presume these are the usual tests ahead of the Midwinter’s Day broadcast? Can anyone at Woofferton confirm this, and also if there is still the usual 2130 UTC transmission on 21st June (as well as the three the BBC list above)?
Frequencies per HFCC 14 June 2130-2145 UTC: 7255 Dhabbaya; 12005 Woofferton; 12065 Woofferton and 13810 Woofferton.
