New Horizon BCDX A26 Monitoring Special Part I

New Horizon BCDX Bulletin A26 Monitoring Updates 
(NHDXB A26 1/27/04/26/SP)

Here is a few reception cum monitoring updates with audio links on this A26 summer Season of international broadcast effective from March 29th of 2026( upto October 24th of 2026).Due to bad weather(thunderstorm,lightning, heavy rains, storms )  plus resultant eletric power cuts  & other personal problems, I am not being able to write & post  my updates on my monitoring observations on broadcasting stations. I am sorry for that. I will try my best to post them even if its late or some information may be outdated. As better late than never!

All my latest monitoring has been done with both my 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. Most of the audio recordings was while listening to Yaesu FT 891. You can easliy distinguish between recordings from Yaesu FT 891 to  Grundig Yatch Boy 400.Grundig Yatch Boy 400 audio is better than Yaesu FT 891. 

Place Of Reception:Abhayapuri,NL56hi

Latitude: 26° 20' 31" N

From Romania To Abhayapuri With A3E Class Of Emission

Radio Romania International(RRI) English To India In B25 In Analog Mood..A Report 

In this B25 season , RRI English besides its DRM transmission to India during 0400-0456utc on 15250kHz, also has  an alernative frequency on usual AM analog transmission mode (A3E) on 17790kHz.As per their website it has been mentioned due to frequent malfunction of Radiocom transmitters, Radiocom switches RRI programs to a backup transmitter operating on alernative frequencies. Anyway, I have monitored these alternative analong AM transmission on 17790kHz during 0400-0456utc from time to time.The reception has been not satisfactory at all.There has been heavy to moderate  interference QRM from adjacent broadcasting station on 17785kHz.On rare occasions you can listen with clear signal e.g. on March 23rd .....Flok Music program heard  around  0452utc..

The audio link:

Closing  announcements of RRI English on 17790kHz around 0454utc...

The audio link:

https://app.box.com/s/011qw1lws0bt60uc4zu99dau8uiorqte

Sometimes nothing of RRI-English can be heard on 17790kHz during 0400-0456utc. I am not sure whether only when their DRM transmitter malfunction they shift to this alternative analog frequency.

The almost  same is the case with the another alternative analog transmission during 0630-0656utc on 17780kHz of RRI English. There has been strong co-channel interference of a radio station and that prevents to copy the signal of RRI-English.And it has become totally useless frequency for me here in my place.

Here is a few recordings I did on 17780kHz of RRI-English on March 23rd.

The RIG used for all these monitorings was  Yaesu FT891 and external antenna used was  Inverted V dipole Centre feed.And the place of reception was Abhayapuri in Western Assam.

Meanwhile I have stopped sending correspondence with radio stations including RRI English for a decade now after starting correspondence with different stations  from April 7,1997.But Their QSL Cards sent to me plus other materials including envelopes still in my possession.RRI English has sent me many QSL cards (printed) over the years.Here is a scanned version of one of such card both sides.(front first & then back side).The Card depicted a luggage carriage of The Moldovita Train.That Year I guessed RRI featured Romanian Railways as the theme of their QSL Cards.

RRI English In A26 To India

On March 23rd..

Radio Nepal Pokhara & Kathmandu

Radio Nepal Pokhara 684kHz:

Radio Nepal Pokhara was not heard by me for several months perhaps due to poor reception etc or might be I did not check the frequency at all.But March 23rd, I heard fair to good signal of Radio Nepal Pokhara on 684kHz  after a long break.Please check the audio file recorded around 0023utc by clicking the link..

https://app.box.com/s/lza4cn9ghb3ifmo2fbubyexi4jktfsfu

Radio Kathmandu 792kHz 

Later I shifted to 792kHz i.e.Radio Nepal Kathmandu around 0024utc.And it was great to hear loud & clear signal of Radio Nepal Kathmandu.Let listen to the audio recorded..

Radio Nepal Kathmandu 792kHz 0024utc

https://app.box.com/s/9q3d5j4odr9v6iu2im50ehpo5xlgo4j9

The same program was aired from both Kathmandu & Pokhara.It was news and current affairs report related.Actually, I guess Radio Nepal airs programs from Kathmandu and others medium wave stations (Pokhara etc)of Radio Nepal relays.There may be some other programs by their regional stations at their respective studio.I am not sure.I have not heard other Radio Nepal medium wave stations for a long time like Surkhet on 576kHz,Dhankuta on 648kHz,Dipayal on 810kHz & Bardibas on 1143kHz.

Let me monitor from time to time and will post any fresh loggings.

https://app.box.com/s/jflzj2hkwhxmuod9rg99mgemdjsfm2ta

For a long time Akashvani Guwahati Mahabahu remains off the air in the morning from time to time and backs on suddenly late in the morning.Myanmar Radio (In Burmese)sometimes audible on 729kHz when Guwahati  was off the air in the early morning hours but Myanmar Radio disappeared ( I mean its signal HI HI) abruptly after sometime.In the evening its the Myanmar Radio which is audible often and giving severe interference to Akashvani Guwahati on 729kHz. I will monitor from time to time to give you updates on 729kHz.

Bangladesh Betar On Medium Wave:General Observation

The following two regional  stations of Bangladesh Betar  in Dhaka on 693kHz and Rajshahi on 846kHz are well heard here.In the early morning hours Bangladesh Khulna on 558KHz is well heard.But as time progresses the reception becomes noisy and signal becomes weak.I guess majority of the programs of  Bangladesh regional stations nowadays has been relayed from Dhaka.But like before,I heard in recent times locally produced programs also via Rajshahi & Khulna.Bangladesh Betar Dhaka on 819kHz is also audible here sometimes with good reception.

More observations/radio news/monitoring reports etc from time to time.

Akashbani Guwahati Mabhabahu on 729kHz may be off the air for a few days as I have not heard on air at my location at Abhayapuri (approx. 109km aerial distance from Guwahati).This morning i.e.June 30th too I have not heard on air.But Akashbani Guwahati Prajyotishpur (ex Guwahati B) is on air on 1035kHz as usual.This morning too I have heard good signal of it from 0255 to 0306utc.Morning News in English from Akashbani Delhi, at 0300utc the North East News Bulletin in English from Akashbani Shillong,from 0305utc onwards station idd etc in Assamese & followed by Assamese  Modern song program-first song on air sung by  Rupam Bhuyan.

Akashbani Goalpara on 102.6MHz is for several months now relaying Akashbani Guwahati Mabhabahu programs.Here at my location( aerial distance approx. 22-25km),the reception has been excellent.But I think it is not following signing on time of Akashbani Guwahati Mabhabahu as such, it is on air late in the morning perhaps due to power problem or other technical problems.

But today on June 30th, regular regular programs of Akashbani Nepali  Service has been heard and no hum as such too observed but with slight noise plus overmodulation type audio(usually there).

3)Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation(SLBC) External Service Hindi:

SLBC Hindi is still on air on 11905kHz only during 0200-0230utc slot with its program of old Hindi film songs.But it has been observed now-a-days the transmission ends abruptly a few minutes earlier even without signing off annoucement.

Still it is not on air on 11905kHz during 0030-0100utc slot after its discontinuation from a few seasons earlier.

4)Radio Romania International(RRI) English At Abhayapuri:

Now-a-days, RRI English's transmission's reception on its target transmissions (0300-0356utc on 17790kHz & 0530-0556utc on 17760/21550kHz) has improved at my location as per my monitoring for sometime.

0300-0356utc on 17790kHz To India on analog AM

Though slight to sometimes moderate interference(as side band splatter +-10kHz) from neary by broadcasting stations, but due to strong signal strength of RRI English now-a-days, the audio can be copied to large extent.

Here is the audio clip file link of RRI English on 17790kHz at 0346utc on June 26th:

RRI English once was a good verifier of reception reports with printed QSL Cards.In fact, they used to bring out a series featuring every aspects of Romania every year.

You can check it out on their website for detail information.

Here is one of such card from 2013...I think featuring Radio Romania 85 years.
