Some people might regard the address, V/s and email data on the utility
stations to be overkill, but I know I always have a hell of a time finding
the information, so I pass it along in the hopes that someone, someday may
compile a utility QSL address book. I have yet to find one. Besides that,
if it helps someone else get a QSL, then the extra bytes are worth it!
Many of the utility stations I hear are on frequencies not listed in the
2009/2010 Klingenfuss book either. I am rather surprised at that, since I
was led to believe it was the latest and greates list...

4010 25 AUG, 0125 UTC, KYRGYZSTAN, Kyrgyz Radio, Very strong carrier with
abysmal modulation. I could just make out the man and woman speaking. They
need to turn up the dial on the modulator. No help even from synchronous AM
detection.
4760 25 AUG, 0131 UTC, ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS (INDIA), AIR Port Blair
(presumed) heard in Hindi with subcontinental music. Only AIR station
scheduled at this time as Delhi not on until 0215 UTC. Good signal but
heavy QRM from Tajik radio on 4765.
4950 24 AUG, 1640 UTC, INDIA (SRINIGAR), AIR Radio Kashmir, HIndi pops and
PSA's/commercials in Hindi/Kashmiri. Very strong signals with great
modulation. Local line noise and summer static the only problems.
Hope everyone's well! My trek towards Pattaya Thailand begins in 8 days!

This morning I reported a tentative logging of 4760 AIR Port Blair.
I received an email from Alokesh Gupta in New Delhi stating that he was
hearing AIR Leh and that Port Blair had faded out at his QTH by that time.
I was using the latest AOKI database which apparently erroneously lists New
Delhi on 4760, whilst the older EIBI database lists Leh.
There was some fluttery fading on the signal which I heard which does not
comport with the signal quality of other stations of mainland India which I
hear, so I am momentarily at a loss. I will continue monitoring to see what
I hear tomorrow, checking sign-on times and signal levels.
Thanks, Alokesh, for pointing out these things and I hope that we will
shortly get to the bottom of this mystery!
