Hello Friends,
I am just back from providing Cyclone Aila Emergency Ham communication by National Institute of Amateur Radio (NIAR) in West Bengal. I was stationed at Kalitala on an island in India -Bangladesh border.

While there, I monitored the broadcast bands as usual. Of interest was Myanmar on unlisted MW 729 kHz noted sign on at 2300 UTC parallel to 594. The other MW frequency 576 was also heard then. This new 729 khz was heard in the evenings also (parallel to 5985 at 1330). Unlisted Bangladesh stations were also heard on 1116 & 1215 Khz (Images /harmonics?!). 7250 is also noted with Home Service at around 0700 UTC. Some weak audio was also at last heard of Nepal on 5005 kHz. Cyclone Aila also silenced AIR Kolkata for some days. By the way the officially unlisted low powered AIR Kolkata B transmission was noted only in the city limits on 97 MHz parallel to 1008 kHz. Alok Das Gupta informs that it’s a studio to transmitter link.
