All India Radio on 15210 kHz (with a little English!)

[Treehouse SWL]

Not many signals in the 15 MHz band at 0218 UTC here on the U.S. West Coast, but I caught All India Radio broadcasting in Nepali on 15210 this evening. They started talking about historical events on this date, and  that section started with a man speaking in English, with translation in presumed Nepali right after.

The transmitter went off the air for a moment around 0224 UTC, then came back on air with English again, this time talking about the birthday anniversary of Bollywood actress Helen Ann Richardson Khan. After a short medley of  her singing in her films, the program went back to Nepali again, and the signal faded out to barely audible by 0235 UTC. Poor to fair reception before that point.

Last night moi tuned to 15.210 @ 0145 & shortly heard a female voice say "Namaste". & Yup the signal disappears within the first.1/2 hr. Thanks for the post.

They used to have big signals on the East Coast but so did Partial India Radio with the Brownyard Brothers. By Vishnu! It was tough to tell them apart.
