Greetings friends and welcome to a new edition of Indian DX Report on KBS Listeners' Lounge. I am your host Prithwiraj. As always I would like to start this month's DX tips with few updates from All India Radio.

As we all know that from 31st MarchSunday, the summer A13 transmission schedule of all international Shortwave broadcasters began. But AIR External Service & Home Service on SW has not made any changes in their A-13 schedules compared to B-12 schedules! That means AIR external service and home services may still tuned on the same frequencies and schedules as it was available during last winter. For complete A13 schedule of AIR you can log into www.allindiaradio.gov.in or for a DXer friendly schedule please have a look into http://qsl.net/vu2jos/sw/freq.htm , a wonderful DX resource page maintained by Mr. Jose Jacob, the Assistant Director of  National Institute of Amateur Radio at Hyderabad.  

Recently many regional stations of All India Radio are aiming to rope in DRM transmitters to improve its transmission and content quality. After successfully testing the signals as part of a live in-car demo, the DRM signals will now be tested in AIR Bengaluru to monitor the quality of broadcast. From 22nd April AIR Bengaluru is testing DRM signals for around a week  using a 500 kW transmitter for their Vividh Bharati Service on 9870 kHz. The schedule for broadcast will be in three segments; from 0025 to 0435 UTC, from 0900 to 1200 UTC and  from 1245 to 1740  UTC. The station is interested in reception report mainly from Indian listeners at various timings. Reports can be sent to -

Suptg. Engineer, AIR, Super Power Transmitter, Bengaluru, Karnataka  Or  it may be emailed to:sptairynk@rediffmail.com 

Mr. Atanu Das, a producer at RVA Bengali Service at "Chitravani" Kolkata informed me that Radio Veritas Asia is interested in reception reports for their different language services from listeners and they promise to verify with QSL cards and Stickers. Reception reports for all day's transmission in a week will be highly appreciated. Latest frequency schedule of RVA can be found at RVA website www.rveritas-asia.org and reports can be mailed to <arleneadonarber@gmail.com>.
