Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation(SLBC) External Service Hindi Update
On 12th March(sunday), from 0209 to 0230utc I monitored SLBC Ext Ser. Hindi on 11905kHz and found its modulation i.e.audio signal missing from time to time within short interval and then coming back ..during entire monitoring period and the carrier was there.The signal strength was good.And I recently observed from time to time in this transmission.There might be some technical problem somewhere.Let me monitor for a few days during the entire transmission period 0200-0230utc.
