India calling

[Nella F.]

Just picked up All India Radio on 13.605 from 2245utc. + today... just shows to go you propagation rules. Came in strong enough to understand news comments. That makes the catch even more unusual for this dxer.

Every day after work when I walk my dog I carry a portable SW receiver & check a list of english broadcasts. The first one is AIR on 11670  //11620 , 9445, & 7550. the 11670 freq is from a 500 kw TX in Bangalaru. Most days it is detectable if not listenable. on 3/7 it was quite strong & clear. I also found another english broadcast yesterday on 11740 // to the other 20:45 to 22:30 b,casts. I could just look these up but it's way more fun to find them & ID them unaided. Other english at this time are DW on 9655 //12070 & 7285 ,  BBC on 15400 & 9915. These are what I can hear "barefoot" with my Grundig G3 as I walk around my neighborhood.
