All India Radio (via Bengaluru)

While some sources say how All India Radio is about to give up shortwave, I still managed to get a QSL card from them. 

All India Radio was heard on March 25th, 2016, from around 21:20 to 21:45 UTC, transmitting from Bengaluru transmitter. Frequency was 9445 kHz.

While AIR transmissions are terribly noisy sometimes, and can make a lot of troubles for other broadcasters to transmit, this was exactly the example here. SINPO indeed was 55555, but the band just looked horrible and this had to be addressed.

It was Good Friday on the very day I listened to the English service, and story of Good Friday was told, as well as announcements for Saturday (next day) were heard.

Reception report was submitted to AIR on the same day. QSL card arrived in the mail on May 10th, 2016.
