11645 kHz also early request via ENC A?Seela Oman again ... in winter season

Thus, 11645-Oman replaces 13825 for rest of A26. Likely due to equinoxial
reception factors with start of autumn.

ChatGPT:
The 11645 kHz signal actually originates from the BBC via
Oman?specifically from the Al-Seela/Dhabayya transmitter site in Oman.
This has now been officially confirmed for the current A-26 schedule:
11645 kHz
2200?2400 UTC
BBC World Service, English
Target area: South/Southeast Asia (51W, 54)
Transmitter location in A-26 HFCC entry: Dhabayya, Oman
250 kW, azimuth 100?
Valid from 22 September 2026 to 25 October 2026
This makes your initial objection interesting: 11645 kHz is not simply
an old B-25 entry that was accidentally left in the EiBi list. The
frequency is indeed active again for A-26, though apparently starting on
22 September 2026?meaning it begins prior to the actual seasonal
changeover on 25 October.
