DX Report From GK

Here is some latest radio monitoring observations ...............

R.Japan NHK World in Bengali,Hindi & Urdu:::
After several days rather weeks of poor to barely audible signal , on saturday i.e. January ,2009, I heard loud & clear signal of Radio Japan's Bengali,Hindi & Urdu Transmission on 15215kHz from 1322UTC onwards (my monitoring starting time).But on sunday i.e.January 4th, there was very poor signal signal on 15215kHz from 1300UTC onwards. I checked around 1421UTC during the time of Hindi Transmission, the signal was poor with slight noise.

VO Turkey English on 11735kHz from 1330UTC onwards:
There has been poor spell of reception with poor to barely audible signal for past several days rather weeks. On saturday i.e. Janaury 3rd, there was loud & clear signal during almost entire transmission period. I recorded a moments of audio of that transmission also.But on on sunday i.e.January 4th, there was poor signal again.

SARL's DX Programme for HAM Operators etc on 17860kHz on Janaury 4th:
Now-a-days, on every sunday, I'm getting good signal of this transmission via Sentech Relay from South Africa on 17860kHz during 0800-0900UTC. I recorded a few moments of audio of this programme on January 4th.

Voice of Mongolia English on 12085kHz during 1030-1056UTC:
The reception of this transmission is also improving day by day after a long spell of poor reception here due to very weak signal etc. On January 4th, sunday, I heard initial a few minutes of its transmission with fair signal.

AWR Transmission.....
The spell of poor reception of AWR transmission is still going on here in my place.Nothing to add further as I mentioned you in detail in my earlier e-mail.

KBS World English:::
I heard KBS World English a few days back on 7275kHz during 1800-1900UTC with slight QRM from nearby stations plus with fair to poor signal.I think best option will be to listen to 2200-2230UTC trax on 3955kHz via UK Relay for QSLings etc.This transmission is reliable.

Radio Taiwan International -English:
RTI-English is still not audible properly (poor signal often & sometime initial fair signal fades away later ,also noise is there) on 9785kHz (via France Relay) & not audible at all on 11550kHz now-a-days during 1600-1700UTC.

That's all for this report. Thanks for reading it.
More DX reports etc soon.
73 & 55
