AIR Panaji looking for reception reports for MW 828 kHz
Posted: 02 Feb 2010 09:01 PM PST
Last year I visited the SW & MW transmitters of AIR Panaji. Then I was told that they were changing their Vividh Bharati 20 kW transmitter on 1539 kHz to 828 kHz due to co channel interference from Voice of America.
In November 2009 I heard them on the new 828 kHz and reported to them. Recently I got an email reply from the Station Engineer that they were on low power at that time and that now they are on full power. They are intersted in reception reports of this transmitter.
Reception Reports may be sent to : Mr.V.N.Page, Station Engineer, AIR Panaji at the email id panaji.spt @ air.org.in
By the way it is heard only very faintly at my location and there is co channel interference from Radio Pakistan.
Incidently the SW transmissions from AIR Panaji are not fully operational now.

President Obama’s Fiscal Year 2011 budget for the Broadcasting Board of Governors recommends funding increases to update satellite and other broadcasting technology.
