China (Xinjiang): XPBS is now audible on their usual "Winter" frequencies like 4500 kHz (Mongolian), 4980 kHz (Uyghur)
and 5060 kHz (Chinese). When I "hunted" them to have them included in the Logbook of Radio-Kurier they were not there
(deadline 9 November). In 2022 the change occurred on 8 November. (Dr Hansjoerg Biener)

Greetings from San Francisco! Thanks for the alert of the Xinjiang PBS winter changes. I am presently in the city while not DXing, so
have not heard the latest changes myself, but here is my posting from last year (2022), which I imagine might be the same in 2023?

** EAST TURKISTAN. Xinjiang PBS reported by Dr Hj Biener to have resumed its lower 60ish mb winter frequencies,
so I make my annual check of them shortly after sign-on circa local sunrise when it`s grayline to me circa local sunset,
Nov 14 at 0040 UT:

5060, JBA Chinese, a bit stronger of course than the rest:
4980, JBA algo, Uyghur service
4850, JBA algo, Kazakh service
4500, JBA carrier, Mongolian service, vs CODAR
With nothing further identifiable, this quartet make it obvious whence.

*Last* year, Ron Howard got the schedule from Hiroshi, sign-on times:
5060, 2330- 4980, 2300- 4850, 2315- 4500, 2315-
Current Aoki:
5060, 2310- 4980, 2315- 4850, 2315- 4500, 2315-
EiBi has nothing anywhere on all four frequencies. Anyway, all should be on by 2330. All of them have several higher
frequencies, and the lower ones again in the local evening, impossibly midday here.

Gaisma.com shows today`s Nov 15 sunrise at Urumqi, ``China``: 0103- UT. In a bimonth will be near its latest, 0141-,
i.e. 9:41 am by local clock required to be on Beijing time of UT+8 rather than when it should be, UT+6. Due to imperialist
ChiCom genocide against Uyghurs and other Moslems.

WRTH 2023 dispenses with any sked info and lists all four not at Urumqi, but ``Changji``! Is that the same as Changzhi
in gaisma.com? But that`s way off in east China near Beijing (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
