New Horizon BCDX Bulletin A26 Monitoring Updates
(NHDXB A26 2/27/04/26/SP)
Let's start with a few disappointing monitoring updates.
The Same Old Story Side Band Splatter/Co-channel Interference etc
The Story Is Repeating Each Season Here At Abhayapuri:
The Case of Voice Of Mongolia, KBS World Radio on 9785kHz during 1400-1600utc, Radio New Zealand Pacific on 9700kHz during 1100-1258utc...
All my monitoring has been done with both on Yaesu FT 891 & on some cases via my Grundig Yatch Boy 400. A long wire with end feed as has been used as an external antenna for the time being. The udio recordings was done while listening on Yaesu FT 891.
Radio Voice Of Mongolia(VOM) English
On 12085kHz during 0900-0930utc
On 12085kHz during 0900-0930utc
The Same Old Story Side Band Splatter from 12080kHz
The reception remains the same on VOM English on 12085kHz here.The heavy interference as side band splatter from a broadcasting station on 12080kHz during the mentioned time slot prevents me to copy signal of that station.
Here is the audio recordings link of VOM English 12085kHz on April 3rd.
At 0900utc & the audio link:
and at 0905utc & the audio link.
It is on rare occasion when signal strength of that broadcasting station on 12080kHz becomes weak, you can hear some sort of audio from VOM English.This has been the case for several seasons now.
KBS World Radio English To India
On 9785kHz via Kimjae(250kW) 1400-1600utc:
KBS World Radio English is facing severe co-channel interference from a broadcasting station on 9785kHz in this A26 season and it is diffcult to distingush which station is KBS World or which is the other station.Here is a few recording links...

Station KNLS Alaska Via Madagascar
Station KNLS Alaska in English is now being well heard almost regularly via its Madagascar World Voice (MWV) facility during its two transmission to India on 13760kHz from 0200-0258utc & 0300-0358utc.
Due to frequent bad weather viz. thunderstorms, lightning with rains, sometimes spell of gusty wind etc from March onwards it has been a challenging task for radio monitoring and safety of radio equipments & eletrical equipments . And also Mains AC Power Supply provided by our local Power Compnay also often gets disreuped due to break down eletrical supply lines (due to falling down of trees plus branches of trees & lightning strikes on power lines etc ), my typing in personal computers often gets delayed and also some logs etc have to be abandoned. Anyway, I will try to monitor radio stations & post my reports whenever it is possible.
Better Late Than Never!
And I leave you with a beautiful postcard from Radio Japan NHKWorld Card depicting Summer Festival in Nagano Precture, which I received long back perhaps during 2000-2010.
More observations//monitoring reports etc soon.
SAYNORA !
