AIR Panaji looking for reception reports for MW 828 kHz

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.

All India Radio Panaji shifts to 828 kHz

AIR Panaji B (Vividh Bharati) has at last changed its frequency to 828 kHz from 1539 kHz. The power is 20 kW. This is due to co channel interfernce from the Radio Aap Ki Duniya and VOA group of stations (programs) on 1539 kHz.

AIR Vivdh Bharthi program is heard during last two days on 6090 kHz at 0830-1200
