On The Last Day Of A22

Due to some technical problems in PC , I could not post any messages on my blog for several months.I am extremely sorry for that.Now that the problems has been sorted out to large extent,I can post on my blog.
Let me start straight way.
The winter season of international broadcasting stations for this year (B22) will begin on October 30th (of 2022) and will be valid upto March 25th of 2023. Here is a few schedule information on shortwave plus other information received by monitoring and by other sources.

I heard the above schedule information on the languages's respective sunday Mailbag shows on October 16th.And another information, I heard on Cheri Ke Desh Say ,the sunday Mailbag Program that Radio Japan Hindi Service is going to launch its facebook page from November 1st.

Monitor's Notes....
And a few recent interesting monitoring information which I like to share in short.
Station KNLS English On Test via Madagascar World Voice(MWV):
On September 28th ,I heard Station KNLS English transmission on 11880kHz from 0208utc onwards upto usual one hour transmission time.On the following day also the transmission was heard.And the signal strength on both days ,I guessed it had been from Madagascar(MWV).Though in my place , there was QRM as sideband splatter from  a broadcasting station on 11885kHz,I could copy the broadcast contents. And senior BCDXER VU2JOS OM Jose Jacob from Hyderabad confirmed on September 28th, in Hyderabad, this broadcast was received with SINPO 55555.But on September 30th ,I have not heard it further on this frequency i.e. on 11880kHz  during 0200-0258utc.
It might have been a test transmission.

Bangladesh Betar External Service on 4750kHz:
During 1230-1300utc Bangladesh Betar External Service English transmission , I heard a few days back strong hum type noise and no audio of the transmission was heard.As far as I could recall yesterday(On October 28th) also I heard the hum.And but during other language transmissions on different time period, I heard good audio but sometimes hum type noise also heard.It was also reported by some other radio monitors too in social media.

All India Radio(AIR) Morning News In English on 11560kHz:
Yesterday i.e. October 28th,instead of AIR External Service Nepali Transmision on 11560kHz (via SPT Bengaluru) ,during my monitoring from 0308utc onwards for sometime(0314utc) I heard AIR Morning News In English from Delhi.The SINPO was 55555.Around 0316utc,during my another monitoring session, I heard Burmese songs back to back on air etc.I guessed AIR External Service's Burmese transmission was on air from 0315utc onwards on 11560kHz.The signal strength was also dropped down slightly and SINPO could be given as 45544.Though I was unfair to give a SINPO rating for a very short time.
That's all for my warm up post..
SEE YOU IN B22 !!!
