Default All India Radio - QSL

Great catch! And a great QSL to add to your outstanding collection.

Speaing of AIR, my wife's grandfather used to be an AIR anchor back in
the 1950's. While with AIR, he started the program "Jaimala": a music
program for the faujis (army personnel). The program is still on the
air on AIR's Vividh Bharati program line-up. I believe 10330 kHz is
the only shortwave frequency on which VB programming is aired...no idea
if Jaimala makes it onto AIR's time-slots for that frequency.

At any rate, it's always a pleasure to receive AIR. It would be nice
if other South Asian broadcasters (e.g. Radio Pakistan, Bangladesh
Betar) were more easily heard in the U.S.
