Here is a few monitoring observations of KNLS English on 13760kHz .
For all monitoring observations has been made at my location in Abhayapuri in Western Assam(India)with RIG Yaesu FT 891 and dipole inverted V 40/20mb dual bander except on April 9th as mentioned in due course of the report.
On March 31st, I heard as per my random aircheck in several spells during 0200-0250utc on 13760kHz, good signal with slight fading.
On April 3rd..Jose Jacob (VU2JOS) from Hyderabad alerted me about Station KNLS English was missing on air on 13760kHz as per his aircheck during 0200-0215utc.And around 0220utc, I checked the frequency i.e.13760kHz with my Yaseu FT 891 dipole inverted and not found any signal of the New Life Station here.
On April 4th..around 0211utc on 13760kHz during my routine aircheck on broadcasting frequencies, I found Station KNLS English on air with good signal with QSB(fading).
On April 5th, around 0208utc onwards, I heard very weak signal of KNLS English on 13760kHz and it was gaining strength in signal.And Jose Jacob from Hyderabad informed me on both days, the signal of KNLS were not heard initially and later he could listen to it.
On April 6th..I monitored in spells of KNLS English during 0300-0400utc and found good signal and overall reception.Earlier, I also heard the station with good reception during their first transmission on 13760kHz from 0220utc onwards for sometime.
On April 9th..Around 0207utc I received a message about only carrier with no audio of Station KNLS English on 13760kHz from OM Jose Jacbo(VU2JOS) in Hyderabad.
There was early morning rains & thunders so, I did not monitor on radio.As the weather condition improved and around I did engerise with battery my Groundig YB 400 with a long wire around 0215utc and I also found the strong carrier only with no audio.Alokesh Gupta(VU3BSE) from Faridabad also stated the same condition there.During my several monitoring spells later, I found only the strong carrier on 13760kHz.The same condition prevailed from 0300utc transmission slot of Station KNLS English on 13760kHz during my aircheck from 0300utc onwards for sometime.Later I switched off the radio for some works.But around 0327utc, I found a text message of Alokesh Gupta that the audio suddenly heard on 13760kHz from 0326utc onwards.Yes, I also heard it on 13760kHz with good signal from 0328utc onwards upto 0354utc on my Grundig YB 400.Here is a few recordings I did which I like to share..just click on the links..
