ROCKING DXING


We Are Rocked around 4.35AM IST(2305UTC on January 3rd) On January 4th of 2016 by an earthquake. We rushed outside...and the electric power supply was cut off by power company as the jolts became stronger ...It was restored after the tremors was no longer felt...within a few mintues..
As later in the morning , it was known to me from BBC Bangla,BBC Hindi on Radio .....that the earthqauke's epicentre was nearly 35km away from Imphal,the capital city of Manipur State & inside 15 to 17km of earth's surface ..it was 6.7 on Richtar Scale & it was felt also in its neighbouring states i.e. my home state Assam(all parts),Meghalaya,Nagaland & Mizoram ....and even in Bangladesh & Myanmar & Bhutan & also in other states in eastern India... Bihar,West Bengal & Jharkand...

And there were reports of a collapse of a old  buliding in Imphal & damaged to several buildings etc etc.Also reported of several damage to buildings plus house collapse & deaths & Injuries in Manipur...And in Guwahati & in other parts of Assam there were reports of  several cracks appeared in many apartments & buildings & also deaths in Guwahati...as seen later in various cable news TV channels...

Now I like to share .........................
A Few Monitoring Observations ....On January 4th Morning Via my Grundig YB 400 Rx:
..................................................................................................
I found All India Radio(AIR)-Shillong was off the air on shortwave on 4970kHz this morning.But found its medium wave service on 864kHz relaying Morning News in Hindi from AIR-Delhi around 0237UTC.
I couldn't hear AIR-Imphal on 882kHz this morning around that time.As I heard later in Imphal,the power supply was disrupted after the earthquake.
And later in the afternoon, I heard All India Radio(AIR)-Shillong on air on its day frequency i.e. on 7315kHz  around 0830UTC(approx..) onwards.
And later in the evening I heard AIR-Imphal in the evening on 882kHz from 1306UTC onwards via my Philips DL334 Rx on battery without any external antenna.
There was Live Calling Show on air in Manipuri Langauge with experts talking about the earthquake & with calls coming from many persons.
Here is the link to the audio recorded at 1306UTC:
