Deutsche Welle & All India Radio

[SW Observer]

Hello all, managed to pick up these two stations this afternoon on the 31m band from my location in New York.

Deutsche Welle - 9655 kHz - Strong Signal, presumably broadcast from Kigali transmitter to Africa. Talk program about impoverished children in Pakistan. Listened between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM Eastern time.

All India Radio - 9445 kHz - Prominent Signal, some fading. Announcer talking about the Indian Space Program and the future of it, followed by Indian music. Listened between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM Eastern time.

Surprised I haven't caught those two stations before at this time, I normally do a full scan of all the open bands from 5 until 6.

That is all,
RW Observer

AIR English is also on 7550 at this time if I am doing the UTC conversion correctly. The easiest heard frequencies for N America are from the Bengaluru transmitter which cranks out 500 kilowatts on 7550  9445 & 11670 from 20:45-22:30 UTC. The HF bully Radio Havana took up residence on the best heard frequency , 11670. but the other 2 Bengaluru are clear I think. Its all up to the propagation gods though.

DW is also on 11800 at this time I think. I hear the 25 meter freq's better here in central N America.
