Radio Romania International(RRI) English In B21 Season
0100-0156utc 7325kHz Via Galbeni(300kW)
Beam to North Amercia East Coast
Like previous several winter seasons, this transmission is well heard here at my place though target area is different.I, sometime, wonder what is the reason behind it as other transmissions beam to different parts not audible but this transmission in winter season with same frequnecy and time has given us consistent good reception.And it is to be noted RRI's Spanish transmission from 0000-0056utc on 7325kHz has been also giving excellent reception here.
Here is an audio clip link recorded by me on December 5th Of RRI English on 7325kHz at 0107utc:
0400-0456utc on 11790kHz Via Galbeni,Romania(300kW) Beam To India
I am sorry to inform right from the first day of B21 season i.e.from October 31st, no trace of signal of RRI English heard on that frequency.
0630-0656utc on 11780kHz (Via Galbeni) 21470kHz(via Tinganesti) both 300kW
17780kHz Beam to Australia
The signal strength usually strong,with slight noise and fading sometimes.
Here is the link to the audio file recorded on December 3rd of RRI English on 17780kHz around 0631utc:
(A QSL Card(scanned version both sides) From RRI English on this transmission on same frequency way back in 2006 featuring Railways in Romania and this card featuring The Royal Train-dinning carriage.)
and on 21470kHz during 0630-0656utc nothing audible at all of RRI-English.
Radio Voice Of Mongolia (VOM)English Service
0900-0930kHz 12085kHz Ulan Bator,250kW
The same old story of moderate to strong interference as a form of side band splatter from a broadcasting station broadcasting on 12080kHz,and very difficult to copy the audio of VOM English on 12085kHz for several seasons now.I think they should move upwards the frequency to 12100kHz or any other frequency which will free from such interference.
Here is the audio link recorded on December 3rd of VOM English on 12085kHz around 0904utc:
Radio Japan NHK World Hindi:
0059-0119utc 6155kHz via Tashkent,Uzbekistan(100kW)
There has been good reception overall of this morning repeat transmission of Radio Japan Hindi feature programs of previous day transmission.
Here is the link to the audio clip recorded on December 3rd on 6155kHz around 0117utc:

Radio Japan NHK World Bengali
1300-1329utc 5895kHz via Tashkent,Uzbekistan(100kW)
Contrary to my initial apprehension, Radio Japan Bengali's reception has been good overall on that frequency this B21 season right from October 31st i.e. very first day of B21 season as per my observations from time to time.
Here is the audio link recorded around 1317utc on 6155kHz on December 5th.
