Radio Monitoring Observations From Abhayapuri

Here is a few general radio monitoring observations made be me in my QTH at Abhayapuri at present over several days.

RX:Grundig Yacht Boy 400 ANT:Cu WIRE 78' Length 30' Height With COAX LEADIN  

Geographical Location of Reception Place(Abhayapuri):

Longitude:26º18´20´´North

Latitude:90º37´50´´East

Voice Of Mongolia English 0900-0930utc transmission on 12085kHz as usual is not audible at all due to severe side band splatter from a Chinese radio station broadcasting on 12080kHz.It is happening as far as I can recall right from the beginning of A18 season of broadcast.

Radio New Zealand Pacific English  1100-1300utc on 7425kHz reception has been improving day by day as approaching for B18 season of broadcasting.

Here is the link to the audio recorded around 1139utc on September 10th of RNZI Pacific English on 7425kHz:

 Intereference & Distorted Audio(?):

Station KNLS English via Madagascar World Voice(MWV) on 9600kHz during 0200-0256utc is now facing co-channel interference from a Chinese Radio Station.And for first 20 miniutes or so nothing audible as such of KNLS English signal & after that signal is audible with slighly distorted audio & mixing with Chinese station's audio.And the reception condition of KNLS English improves after 0230utc for even better. 

As mentioned earlier in one of my post ine the blog  that Voice of Turkey English  signal on 15520kHz during 1630-1720utc transmission  is also facing same problem.Its audio becomes slightly distorted when its signal mixes with possible co-channel radio station's signal or adjacent frequency sideband splatter.

But now-a-days the signal of Voice of Turkey English is very weak on 15520kHz as per my monitoring also nothing audible of the co-channel station/adjacent channel.I'll monitor again for better assessment of the reception of Voice of Turkey English.

More radio monitoring observations etc soon.
