Namaskar and greetings from India and welcome to the first edition of Indian DX Report in year 2013. I am your host Prithwiraj. First I would like to share a great news with you all. From January 2013 "Indian DX Report" is being aired by KBS World Radio on every last Saturday of the month in their popular mailbag program "Worldwide Friendship". I invite you all to listen to this KBS version of Indian DX Report every month and send me your valuable feedbacks and reception reports. And of-course I shall verify all your reports with our special QSLs as we are doing with the reports on Wavescan version of IDXR.
BANGLADESH: On 16th March Bangladesh Betar erratically aired Home Service and external service both on same frequency 7250 kHz and made a huge QRM on each other, this is very rare and funny that a station carried two different services from two transmitters from the same area on a single frequency. Sources said that this was happened due to some technical problem with their transmitter which is rectified now. But they were unable to transmit home services on 60 meter band frequency of 4750 kHz and so opted for registered 41 meter band frequency 7250 kHz despite collision with external service. But two days later this problem was also resolved. Here is a recording of that interesting collision of Bangladesh Betar < Voice Clip>
So friends, lets begin this edition of DX report with some latest news from All India Radio.
All India Radio is slowly but surely trying to march and upgrade itself with the new age technologies to reach the world audience. Apart from upgrading many of its relays with DRM transmitters, now AIR has been moving towards web based broadcasts too. First a couple of months back AIR General Overseas Service has started transmitting the English language programs via World Radio Network or WRN. Now all English language transmissions of GOS can be heard online at www.wrn.org/listeners. And to carve a niche for itself on the social media, couple of weeks back AIR has launched live streaming of its Urdu service and FM Gold services, an exclusive YouTube channel of AIR and an Android based mobile phone application of for its news service. This will definitely help grow the listenership of AIR both at home and abroad. If you are interested in these new media availability of AIR you can log into http://allindiaradio.gov.
JAPAN: NHK World Radio Japan Bengali and Hindi services has announced their new frequency for Summer 2013. From 31st March Radio Japan Bengali will be on 11685 kHz between 1300 to 1345 UTC and Hindi Service's evening transmission will be on 15745 kHz during its usual transmission time of 1430 to 1515 UTC. But its morning transmission time & frequency will be changed from March 31st. It will be on air from 0100 to 0130 UTC on 11590 kHz.
