This chart may be familiar to some, for others like me who has just found it, this will be a very useful one-stop information page for UK spectrum allocations for scanning the bands.

Thanks, Colin! Ofcom has done a fantastic job making this data accessible. Individual maps for each chunk of spectrum can be downloaded as well.
SWLing Post contributor, Paul Walker, who hosts a radio show on WBCQ and Channel 292, writes:
My WBCQ broadcast has changed, slightly. It will be on 9330, still, but 5110 has moved to 5130 khz.
[Also] to avoid a collision with Vaitcan Radio on 6070 khz, which is on 2140-2200, my Channel 292 broadcast moves from its originally scheduled airtime of 2100-2300 UTC to 2205-0005 UTC.
Thanks for the update, Paul!
