I was not monitoring both the Broadcasting Bands as well as Amateur Bands as such for a few months from March, 2024. But from September,2024 ,I have begun my radio monitoring sessions.I have already posted a few posts.Here is a few latest specific and general obserations of the broadcasting bands.
For all monitoring observations,
Rig used :Yaesu FT 891 on battery ,long random wire as antenna
Place Of Monitoring:Abhayapuri(Assam)(India)
RNZ Pacific English on 13690kHz:
Radio New Zealand (RNZ)Pacific in English was heard with good signal nowadays on 13690kHz during its 1100-1300utc transmission here.A few weeks back,I heard RNZ Pacific on 13690kHz during 1151-1204utc.The Music, then news from 1200utc was heard.This was on sunday on October 6th.Here is the link to the audio file which I recorded on October 6th around 1159utc of RNZ Pacific English on 13690kHz:
Radio Philipinas WorldWide English:
Nowadays, Radio Philipinas WorldWide English is audible on 17820kHz,15640kHz & 12010kHz during 0200-0330utc.The reception is not satisfactory plus reilable on 12010kHz.The reception quality is satisfactory on 17820 & 15640kHz.
SLBC External Hindi:
Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation(SLBC)'s External Service's Hindi Program is still not air on 11905kHz during 0200-0230utc for several weeks now.The transmitter parts fault and non availbility of spare parts of the transmitter might be the cause of this.
Radio Thailand World Service English:
Radio Thailand World Service English is monitored by me on two frequencies as follows.
0000-0029utc on 13750kHz
0200-0229utc on 15590kHz
The reception overall is good on both these frequencies.
During my random monitoring, in the 0000-0029utc transmission National News of Thailand,International news plus Business News are aired with promos etc and in the 2nd transmission, music-songs etc can be heard too.I am yet to hear it entire transmission.
Another Radio Thailand English transmission on 17640kHz during 0500-0529utc beam to North America(?) well heard here at Abhayapuri.Its a all season frequency for it for a long time like BBC World Service's English all season nearly round the clock frequencies 15310kHz & 17790kHz several years back.
Station KNLS Alaska on 13760kHz via MWV:
Station KNLS Alaska English Programs are now on 13760kHz via Madagascar World Voice (MWV) both during 0200--0258utc and 0300-0358utc.I understand the 2nd transmission is the repeat of the first transmission of the day.
More observations/monitoring reports etc from time to time.
