The BBC broadcast in English on 7445KHZ at 0500 UTC 11/17/2016.

With an excellent signal Q5 all the way.  This broadcast was made from the BBC transmitters at Ascension.

I just happened on the frequency and I knew at once it was the BBC.  The BBC has a sound that I can spot in a second.  I use to listen to them for hours way back when, I do so miss them these days.  Unfortunately this broadcast is only one hour long (0500 to 0600 UTC).

It was great to hear this 'old friend' once again.

Might also try for them on 6005 KHz 0500-0700z as well. 
Default RX location is Wisconsin using various wire antennas. Other RX will be noted.

I've taken to listening to 7445 kHz nightly as well, closest thing we have to a North American broadcast.

9915 kHz in the late afternoons used to be good, but so far the reception on 7445 kHz is unparalleled.
Florida, always listening via my Tecsun PL-660 receiver.
