So, there is a pretty new (week old) transmission of the BBC in English on 5875 between 2000-2200 utc, the broadcast time and "off" from posts above seem to correlate to this transmission.  However, I have had little luck in receiving the 5875 broadcast, maybe a relay to assist reception in North America.  The new morning program (East Coast USA 1400-1600 utc) on 15735 is received superbly.
Tecsun H501x (broadcast received on this unless noted), Zenith T/O G500, Zenith T/O Royal 7000, Emerson AR-176, Zenith 8S154, T/O 7G605 (Bomber), Tecsun PL-600, Tecsun PL-880, Zenith 5S320, Realistic DX 160 using 40 feet of copper wire.  With apologies to Senator Gramm for his thoughts on firearms, "I have more radios than I need but not as many as I want."
