Mark - Do you know if Roy wants comments on unids? Often they are unid because it cant be proven who it is. But often I see comments implying that the author didn't know the possible stations. It seems patronizing to constantly tell people what the possibilities are when its just a case of not knowing for sure who it is.

Re: [IRCA] TP report from Masset for January 1 2019
--- Begin Message --- 1566 is the only Indian I have heard in Massachusetts. That was 10 or more years ago. It was heard on two different occasions at the salt marsh site in Rowley, MA (42.7436 N / 70.8367 W). Others not too far from me have logged 1071 in more recent times. I don't have that one yet. That channel is filled with a lot of Middle East stations right in the way and the IBOC hash mostly from 1080 WTIC (and secondarily from 1060 KYW) can be awful. 1566 is a rough channel with huge 1560 WFME NY on one side and the 1570 WUBG/CFLV combo on the other side. Slop mayhem. Even the Benin station on 1566 is typically difficult DX. There are also low power UK stations on the channel; I have no luck with those. Maybe if I go to the beach ... I don't think I've heard much of 1566 India on European SDR's in the few times I've bothered to try. So maybe there is some degradation of the station's capabilities. To confuse things more, I think one of the 1566 UK stations runs Indian / Bollywood stuff. Mark Connelly, WA1ION South Yarmouth, MA << AIR 1566 used to be a powerful dominant station in Newfoundland, but in the last 2 years we have not heard it at all. Something has happened to their transmitter / antenna. And if anyone is thinking conditions are to blame, over 40 Indians have been heard from Newfoundland although of course not all in the last few years.

I think that the key for west coast DXers to track down India is to be aware that almost all of the big gun AIR stations switch to an English news format at 1530 UTC, with all of them in parallel. Because of this 927-AIR and 954-AIR were both received in Kauai in November. 657-AIR was also received in Bengali in the Cooks, but only by some serious luck.

Re: [IRCA] TP report from Masset for January 1 2019
Chuck AIR just announced that the National Channel will close down "with immediate effect" on its current freqs of 1566 1215 and 9380. Which may explain the deteriorated reception in Newfoundland.
