On February 8th, at the evening, I was watching the facebook posts on my mobile (around 1416utc) and I came across a post of Jose Jacob(VU2JOS),Hyderabad alert about AIR Geetanjali Kolkata (in Bengali) was on 11560kHz perhaps due to wrong feed put on wrong channel of AIR transmitter site(Bengaluru ?) on that frequency .And I rushed to my radio desk and switched on my radio to check it up myself.And I found strong signal of the station there. As a part of policy changes of AIR , a few years back perhaps AIR Kolkata A broadcasting on medium wave 657kHz on the medium wave renamed as AIR Kolkata Geetanjali.
Here is the reception details of AIR Kolkata Geetanjali on 11560kHz
