 And it is after long break of several months,I am going to post something.
Let's start with some monitoring observations.
I heard a few amateur stations on 7145kHz lsb recently.

 In the morning on 7050kHz lsb during from 0600ist onwards(on The Belgaum Net Warm Up Session) I can here VU2RZA from Chennai S9 to S7 and others regulars like VU2JF I can copy weak.I even heard on a few occasions Amateur Station from Bangladesh S21RW breaking call S7 here.But I guessed VU2RZA could not copy him.
Besides these, in the evening 20meter is nowadays full of activity i.e. with QSOs.And even I could even hear our Guwahati based OM VU2DBM S8 S7,with aerial distance of about 107km approximately towards South East from my location.
Monitor's Note:
A strange noise I have observed on 7145kHz lsb nowadays from time to time.Here is a recording on that around on  September 30th around 0913ist.

Some amateur radio related items which I like to share with you all.

A Radio Listener Cum BCDXER,SWL..CB Radio Operator is now a Ham:
After several initial setbacks,my senior radio friend Respected  Dr.Abhijit Rabha( a Retired Indian Forest ServiceOfficier) from Guwahati, finally has become an amateur radio operator.His callsign is VU3DUK.And he has already in action on voice mood in HF and VHF and making QSOs all around.He has developed strong interest on BC band monitoring and listening to radio right from his school days.Many may be surprised to know once he was an active Citizen Band Operator in Guwahati and he took a leading role to form a Citizen Band Net  called Uronia Mau with several participants from Guwahati.Still, he is trying to revive Citizen Band Radio communication  in and around Guwahati.His interest in Radio Broadcasting once brought him to then All India Radio,Guwahati Studio at Chandmari during his college days at Cotton College.He used to present Science Programme & Yugbani there time to time.More about Dr.Rabha's radio activities will be posted  later on this blog. One of the problem Old Man VU3DUK is facing  now from his Victor,his pet.When he gives a CQ call , like CQ CQ CQ this is Victor ..........and Victor jumps upon VU3DUK..HI HI!!!Beware Of Victors!!!
