I have been referring to this list for some time now, however, some of those published in Russia have never been heard so maybe no longer on air or consolidated into data transmissions rather than voice using SSB? 

Never heard Beijing giving Volmet, only Guangzhou, so another unanswered question. 

Also never heard many of the Indian scheduled broadcasts either despite having propagation to India and hearing the airports working traffic etc on HF, maybe gone to data too?

Better than nothing and it serves a good purpose, let me know if you hear any of those Russian or Indian Volmet transmissions... ;)
