Title: Eve of India’s Independence Day - Aug 14
Post by: Ron - Calif. on August 14, 2016, 1619 UTC
INDIA. Aug 14, on the eve of India’s Independence Day,
the President of India addresses the nation; 1330 ID in
English followed by National Anthem; President's address
in English. Rather disappointing results this year, as some
AIR regional stations have ended their SW service. My results:

JBA = Just Barely Audible

4760 Leh - not heard             
4760 Port Blair - JBA open carrier (no audio heard)     
4775 Imphal - off the air
4800 Hyderabad - not heard due to strong CNR1
4810 Bhopal - JBA                 
4820 Kolkata - off the air (now only PBS Xizang)
4835 Gangtok - not heard; only ABC Alice Springs NT 
4840 Mumbai - off the air
4850 Kohima - off the air
4860 Shimla - off the air
4880 Lucknow - off the air                   
4895 Kurseong - JBA                   
4910 Jaipur - JBA                 
4920 Chennai - heard through the Tibet QRM
4950 Srinagar - not heard; this was a surprise, as on many
days recently I have been hearing a decent open carrier here
which I believe to be from AIR Radio Kashmir and seemed
close to having audio, but clearly completely off the air today.                 
4970 Shillong - JBA (not as strong as normally heard)               
4990 Itanagar - off the air (now only PBS Hunan [China])
5010 Thiruvananthapuram - JBA     
5040 Jeypore - JBA
5050 Aizawl - not heard; this also was a surprise, as just as recently
as Aug 12, had very decent reception at 1330, but nothing today.
6030 Delhi - not heard due to strong CNR1
9425 Delhi - not heard
9380 Aligarh - JBA
9870 Bangalore - good signal, but mixing with strong QRM (CRI in English).
