Think this is possibly my longest distance catch :) Reasonable signal direct to my QTH (SINPO 34343).

Hindi / Himachali  language programming according to their web site but a clear id in English at closedown (1430 utc).

Actually heard yesterday (1-Oct-19) as well but forgot to post here.
QTH: S.E. UK

Heard nothing today on 9720 but got a 1-2-2-2-2 on 11750 in English @ 13:16 targeting South Asia.  YM hosting "The Heaven Series"  with a discussion of St. Paul's interpretation of the terms "Heaven" and "Paradise"  along with a short talk on the meaning of "the White Robe of Honor" .  ID @ 13:30 "Thank you for listening to Reach Beyond Australia" .  Switch to (apparently) Telugu (a South India) dialect @ 13:31.

Lost signal completely at 13:35

TX:  Kununurra Western Australia

It's quite too bad that the ABC/Radio Australia doesn't come back on the air using some of their old sites in Shepparton and such since it was easy to hear RA on various frequencies all over the SW bands. Now its the province of China to have 400 different transmitters or so it seems on the middle and upper SW bands from 31 meters up to 16 meters. Its quite apparent listening to SE Asia and Australia SDR that China pretty much has a near monopoly on the airwaves in that area of the world.
