Still continuing with Akashvani Medium Wave Station log, after getting the information of Prof. Hajong Sir, I checked the medium wave band here in my place on the sunday i.e.on December 28th...I got excellent reception of Akashvani Pasighat on 1062kHz from 1358utc onwards..here is the audio recorded around 1359utc ...the audio link:

Delayed Dispatch From VU3WTI,Abhayapuri F3E Special........

From Shillong With  OM VU3NYV's F3E Emission  On 145.100kHz 

Sunday (21/12/25)

Just 20 minutes or past noon today i.e.21st of the instant, I was alerted by a message from our OM VU3NYV from Shillong that he made QSO with OB VU3FKX from Baihata Chariali on 145.100MHz around 1200ist.As earlier on 27th November at night , OM VU3NYV' signal on F3E mode was received well by OB VU33DS  on his handy at Barpeta. So, why not give a try at Abhayapuri...Loha Garam Hai , Mar Do Hatora....(iron is hot, why not hammer it now).

I contacted OM VU3NYV immediately by phone, and discussed about possibility of a test transmission from his base station  and he immediately gave his consent and I rushed with my Baofeng handy to my cousin's two storied building's  roof ( the base of possible 3rd floor)(30-35ft approx or more) and yes I got his signal loud ....and clearly copied it ..though slightly noisy...at 145.100MHz..though I also transmitted around 5W..he could not copy me at all. It is to be noted the aerial distance from Shillong to Abhayapuri around 146km approx.

At 1249ist 145.100MHz On December 21th...At Abhayapuri

But glad to hear VHF signal from Shillong...on my handy ...I think OM VU3NYV has used his Yaesu FT991A transreceiver with commercial Yagi antenna.

Thanks to OM VU3OKB, OM VU3HZW and our Respected OM VU2XBP, all from Guwahati for their  urge to check & test on 145.100MHz  and above all OM VU3NYV from Shillong for his VHF initiatives.

It's victory for Amateur Radio and experiments associated with it.

Let me share with you some news of VHF activities in Guwahati and Shillong...

In Guwahati, amateurs irrespective of club affiliations  etc are joining on 145.100MHz regularly from 10:00PM onwards for half an hour or so. OM VU3NYV from Shillong with his Yaesu 991A at first with a homebrewed ground plane antenna & later with a commercial Yagi Antenna are joining from Shillong. 

The Historic Spark On VHF...A Giant Leap For VHF Amateur Voice Communication In NE Region:

The historic first two way contact ever on VHF between Shillong and  Guwahati on VHF on 145.100MHz was made by VU3NYV(Shillong)  and OM VU2XBP (Kahilipara,Guwahati) on November 23rd from around 21:25 ist from their respective base stations .

And on the following day(November 24th) in the morning around 0652ist VU3NYV from Shilliong made two way contact with VU3TQC & again with VU2XBP with good signal report on 145.100MHz as per information received.

More updates/news/logs etc  on amateur radio from our region soon.

From My Radio Diary...Latest Entries..FM To MW Akashvani The Voice From AIR

 FM Radio Reception : 

Reception of FM Broadcasting Stations Here At Abhayapuri..

From August, 2025 or so, only Akashvani Goalpara on 102.6MHz(1kW & aerial distance from Abhayapuri around 20km appprox.) , Akashvani Kokrajhar on 102MHz (10kW & aerial distance from Abhayapuri is )has been heard here at my location at Abhayapuri with good strong signal and good overall reception.For several weeks , Bhutan Broadcasting Service(BBS) on 96MHz  had been weak in signal strength here at my place as per my monitoring.Perhaps some problem in transmission or bad propagation condition, may be the reason for sudden poor quality of reception here.As earlier in all season, BBS on 96MHz had been very satisfactory.

But yesterday, I found its reception quality slightly improved in the morning around 0340utc  but not satisfactory at all and let me monitor it further for a longer period.

On Ist December , also received a few Guwahati based private FM Stations perhaps Radio Mirchi 95MHz & Red FM on 93.5MHz in the morning around 0340utc onwards not though strong in signal strength with my Grundig YB 400 with telescopic antenna fully extended.Let me monitor for a longer period and will post my observation.

Akashvani Shillong Morning North East Bulletin in English An Observation:

On August 6th, while listening to Akashvani Shillong on 864kHz in the morning, I observed that the duration of North East News Bulletin in English had been extended to 10 minutes from 5 minutes.The schedule is from 0300 to 0310utc i.e. from 8:30 to 8:40 AM local time. I understand all regional Akashvani stations of North East India relays this broadcast on their channels on Medium Wave & FM  besides on various online platforms (you tube etc).I heard earlier the broadcast of North East News Bulletin on  Akashvani Guwahati Pragjyotishpur channel on medium wave 1035kHz. I  guessed Akashvani Guwahati Pragjyotishpur relays this NE News Bulletin.Yes, I am quite right.I heard several times this News Bulletin recently. 

Here is the recording of closing moments of the North East Bulletin in English via Akashvani Shillong on 864kHz ..around 0309utc on November 12th..&

Both QSY to VHF 145.100MHz for a test ..

Later got the info that both of them copied each other on VHF too..VU3NYV operating from his Yaesu set which has 2 meter transmission capability , antenna used a Homebrewed ground plane & VU2DBM has his ICOM handy connected to perhaps a commercial Ground plane antenna..

Earlier on the night of November 23rd  around 2125ist onwards..perhaps for the first time in the history of amateur radio communication in the North East India,  VU3NYV from Shillong made a QSO with VU2XBP in Guwahati on 145.100MHz with both operating from their respective base stations.I guess later in the morning of November 23rd too VU3NYV made QSO with VU2XBP.Let me wait for detail reports on VHF communications around Guwahati and from other locations.

Medium Wave Special

Country Roads Takes Me Home
With  My Radio 

Where I Belong , Tura The Town..

 A BCDXER turning Ham Monitoring  From His Home Town...

OM VU3NYV , Prof. S Hajong from  NEHU Campus,Shillong during last week of September visited his home town, Tura. And as an avid radio hobbyist/radio enthuisat/amateur radio operator he likes to carry his radio whenever he visits, be it while travelling for vacation in Sikkim with his family or in his MQTH duties of visiting Itanagar etc and he usually carries his transmitting equipments while visiting his XYL of place of work in Assam even if it is for a few days.And also I have heard him   with good signal signal strength  from his portable amateur radio station in Assam.He always sends me his recordings of broadcasting band stations heard from different locations via his portable radio.

And as mentioned above , Tura has a medium wave station of Akashvani(ex All India Radio-AIR) and which goes on air on 1233kHz(20kW). Yes, I had listened to Akashvani Tura (then also AIR Tura) here at Abhayapuri on my Grundig YB 400 ( long wire as external antenna) once a few years back when noted radio enthusiast/ham/a specialist in Akashvani Broadcasting OM VU2JOS from Hyderabad  wanted me to check its reception.After several attempts once in late  afternoon, I heard it in Garo Language ( as per my guess) with clear station Idd announcement on 1233kHz.But nowadays, I am unable to trace its signal on 1233kHz even with my Yaesu FT 891 with long wire. OM VU3NYV from Tura ,revived my interest on monitoring again Akashvani Tura when he shared two vedio clips of Akashvani Tura on 1233kHz on the morning of September 29th.. his receiver was Tecsun PL310 ET ..just with the telescopic antenna..

0306utc ...relaying North East News Bulletin in English from Akashvani Shillong

0313utc...Announcement,Music, Station Idd announcement in Garo...etc

Hope OM VU3NYV will keep sending his BC Bands log including Medium Wave/FM from all around.Thanks OM VU3NYV for sharing these two video clips from Tura.

For All The Monitoring 

RIG Used:Yaesu FT 891 Ext Antenna: End Fed Long Wire

Place Of Reception:Abhayapuri (Assam)(India)

BBCWS To South Asia on 9750kHz ex 9670kHz:

As per information posted in facebook group, BBC World Sevice in English has changed its one of the frequencies during 0000-0200utc to South Asia from 9670kHz to 9750kHz.

On February 16th morning I did check the reception here in my place at Abhayapuri from 0025-0106utc and it was S9 over 20dB.I guess it is still being relayed from Tashkent,Uzbekistan. And also the transmission is gong on parallel 12095kHz (via Oman Relay) with also good reception overall.

Here is a few links to the audio files recorded on 16th instant.

No Signal Of Wavescan Via Reach Beyond Australia On July 13th:

It was a very surprising to me when I found no trace of Wavescan, The Global DX Program produced at WRMI Florida,USA on 11870kHz from transmitter site of Reach Beyond Australia  from 1400utc onwards on sunday ,July 13th.I discontinued monitoring later.Later, our BCDX specialist from Hyderabad also reported faint signal there of the transmission.Lets hope for better propagation condition this sunday i.e.today ..July 20th.

As a reminder, Wavescan is now on air on sundays only from Reach Beyond Australia's transmitter site Kununurra(KNX)(100kW)

 Primarily To India ,1400-1430utc 11870kHz

 Primarily To Japan, 2230-2300utc 17650kHz 

I used to hear on 11870kHz with good reception.But on 17650kHz to Japan during 2230-2300utc, nothing was audible here at my place as per my monitoring for a few sundays.

Akashvani Guwahati With Vividh Bharati Programs In Assamese:

After a long gap, from July Ist , Akashvani Guwahati's Vividh Bharati channel on 100.8MHz is again airing Vividh Bharati Programs in Assamese on two time slots.I forget to note down the time slots.Will let you know later.

Akashvani Shillong on 864kHz:
