Radio Bangladesh On 7250
« on: September 21, 2017, 0603 UTC »
Not completely sure, but I think I just heard Radio Bangladesh into Birmingham, AL....on 7250 khz.  At least that's what shortwave.info says about it...signal coming in S5 - S6.

Seems unlikely, unfortunately. Eibi, which is generally more accurate than short-wave.info, has no listing for Bangladesh Betar at the time you posted. Also, it's close to high noon in Bangladesh at that time of day, making anything at that frequency very unlikely to propagate more than a few hundred miles.

Something that does start up around 0550 UTC at 7255, however, is Voice of Nigeria. Their official sign-on is 0600 but they often play music before then. And they're more likely to come in with a good signal than anything, especially if you're a bit off with the tuning. Were you listening on a regular receiver?
