I've also noticed Bangladesh Betar missing from 15105 and 15505 the last two mornings. I also checked those frequencies yesterday and today on the WebSDR at University of Twente in the Netherlands, which in the recent past has had a good signal during the 12:30-13:00 English segment -- nothing on either day.
