Polish Radio, via Wertachtel, Germany on 9450 at 1315 UTC in English,
sio-343. YL w/ “Polish Radio” ID at 1315, into interviews with
children describing Polish Christmas traditions. Hard to understand
thanks to local TV interference. (Sony ICF-6800W Orange, Bryant –
Louisville, KY, Dec. 18)


Voice of Korea, Kujang, North Korea on 9335 at 1325 in English,
sio-333 in local RFI. Heavily-accented M w/ slow story of Korean
history. Many references to the “Great One”. M w/ VoK ID before the
bottom of the hour. Signal was pretty strong, but audio often hard to
understand w/ low modulation and high noise floor. (Sony ICF-6800W
Orange, Bryant – Louisville, KY, Dec 18)


All India Radio, Bangalore, India on 9870 at 1340 in Hindi, sio-454.
This is the domestic “Vividh Bharati (Entertainment Network) w/ some
of the best daily doses of subcontinental music (definitely an
acquired taste…). M anncr between songs, and it sure sounds like
advertising between some of the songs. Blasting in this morning.

All India Radio, Panaji, India on 9820 at 1350 in S Asian lang, listed
Sinhalese, sio-343. Different syle of subcontinental mx, more group
vocal chanting, YL anncr, no clear ID, so mark this tentative. I think
I’ll try to check this out a few more mornings during my vacation.
Fair and fading fast. (Sony ICF-6800W Orange, Bryant – Louisville, KY,

All India Radio, Bangalore, India on 9690 at 1405 in EE, sio-232.
Subcontinental vocals, caused me to stop and listen, Kind of surprised
when a YL identified as “All India Radio” in English. Being broadcast
to SE Asia. Weak, but that subcont mx cuts right through the noise!
