Monitor's Note:

Signal strengths (QSA) going down considerably..from Southern Indian stations..as observed last spring from 3rd week of March onwards like last spring and but so far noise level is not high this spring season so far,the last spring noise level on 40mb in the morning was much higher level this time.

Besides all the stations mentioned,there might be a few stations,I forgot to mention & also a few stations I could not copy at all,all these logs were a rough diary of what I heard.There might be some errors here and there.
My town,Abhayapuri is also known as the Debdaru Town for its Debdaru trees(Polyalthia longifolia ) along its main road.

More reports/observations etc soon.
