REPUBLIC DAY MONITORING OF ALL INDIA RADIO

Here is a summary of All India Radio(AIR) Stations reception duing AIR's Live Coverage of  67th Republic  Day  Parade from Rajpath,New Delhi on January 26th of 2016  on Short Wave,Medium Wave & FM  monitored from my location at Abhayapuri.

Geographical Location of Reception Place(Abhayapuri):
Longitude:26º18´20´´North
Latitude:90º37´50´´East

As you know very well that a few of regional AIR Stations specially from North-eastern part of India were not on air regularly but on special occasions like Republic Day On January 26th & on Independence Day of India on August 15th they were on air from a day or two earlier.

This year there was no coverage from AIR-Kohima and AIR-Itanagar .AIR-Kohima is off the air from a long time.As I reported last year there were extensive damage to shortwave & medium wave facilities of AIR-Itanagar due to fire  late September and the repair work might have not been completed.I also haven't heard AIR-Itanagar on its medium wave frequency on 675kHz and perhaps AIR-Itanagar is on the air only via FM .Also I've not heard for a long time AIR-Aizal on shortwave.

All these monitoring was done by Grundig YB 400 Rx with a long copper wire as external antenna.
