AIR Vividh Bharati, 9380 AM, 21 OCT 2017, 0100 UTC
« on: October 21, 2017, 0107 UTC »
Pretty weak copy with rapid fades, but good enough to identify. "Bollywood" style Indian pop music. Tx Aligahr, India, at 188 degree azimuth. I may be getting the back end which would be a shorter path, but since the forward path goes across the Indian Ocean, Antarctica, and a lot of the Pacific before hitting land in Mexico, I think there's a good chance I'm getting it that way, long as it is.
0114 as the world turns, the signal is all but gone now. Some occasional flare-ups, but nothing usable anymore

Can just tell there is a station there. Could be gray line for you. The sun is up there now but if conditions are anything like this morning on 40 it is probable. The VKs were booming in here up to an hour after sunrise.

Not hearing it here. Have Bro Stair splatter from 9370 on AM. When switching to USB, I do hear a carrier and some audio, but its too weak to be intelligible.

Oh yeah, this is totally a grey line one. I can get it only near the equinoxes because it's nearly completely on the opposite side of the world from me (bearing 257 degrees). I can hear other AIR broadcasts throughout the year because their beams are good enough for North America, but this one definitely is not under most circumstances.
