Radio Pakistan changes frequency

Radio Pakistan has changed frequency at 1600-1610 UTC (not 1615 UTC as listed) for English News to the Gulf and Middle East, to new 7535 kHz (x 7510) kHz due to co-channel interference on the latter. The \\ channel listed for East/South Africa 15100 kHz is not audible to me, but that may be due to lack of propagation. This news bulletin replaces what was heard during A-09 at 1500-1510 UT. The Urdu Service at 1330-1530 UT to the Gulf and Middle East continues to use 7510 kHz.

And English news is once again heard at 1100-1105 UT on 17700 kHz towards west Europe, and this replaces the summer timing of 1000-1005 UT.
