For Your Eyes Only!! Hi Hi!!!
Radio Philipinas WorldWide English:
As per my monitoring, the schedule of Radio Philipinas WorldWide English is now
0200-0330utc on 17820kHz 156640kHz 9475kHz (all from Tinang,Phipines & with 250kW)
And execpt 9475kHz the reception has been excellent on other two frequencies.
The reception is very noisy and also the signal strength usually is much weaker and it is very difficult to copy.
Radio Japan NHK World Bengali:
Radio Japan Bengali's current shortwave schedule
1300-1329utc 5895kHz via Taskent-Uzbekistan,100kW
Contarary to my earlier apprehension,Radio Japan NHK World on this frequency has been giving us more or less satisfactory overall reception right from the first day of B21 season of broadcast here with rare poor reception quality on sometime.Though the audio intensity is usually low(as the case with Tashkent transmitter) but still sometimes it gives excellent signal quality.And very weak intereference as a form of side band splatter observed on the frequency during its transmission.
Here is the recorded audio clip of Radio Japan Bengali on 5895kHz on January 30th around 1310utc:
Radio Japan NHK World Urdu
The monitored shortwave schedule of Radio Japan Urdu Service now as follows
1515-1545utc 9580kHz via Al-Dhabayya-UAE-250kW
The reception has been good overall as per my monitoring on January 30th as latest.
Here is the link of the audio clip recorded around 1515utc on January 30th:
Adventist World Radio (AWR) Wavecan The Global DX Program

1530-1600utc 15530kHz
1600-1630utc 12040kHz

The reception was not very good or not audible at all for several sundays as per my monitoring.But last sunday i.e.January 30th, I heard the Wavescan program on both 15530 & 12040kHz with good reception overall, though slightly noisy.But the reception was better on 12040kHz during 1600-1630utc. There was special report on massive volcanic eruption in Pacific Ocean between uninhabited Islands of Tonga-tribute to Tonga Radio scene in Tonga,reports on media covering Tonga after Tsunami-Radio New Zealand(RNZ),Radio Australia online ..Pacific Beat...BBCWS etc ,news about HFCC A22 conference ,an exclusive report on radio stations in Hyderabad as a part of Indian DX Report by VU3TQD aired on the program.
