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..

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.
Here is a few recent audio logs of Regional Akashvani Radio Stations via my Grundig Yacht Boy 400 with long wire at my location at Abhayapuri...
