[HCDX] Nepal on MW

[Thomas Roth <thomasroth@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

well - since I'm in Kathmandu this is not really DX, but I'm happy to
report that the Radio Nepal Dhankuta TX on 648 kHz is up and running
again. It was damaged a while ago by Maoist rebels and off air for a few
months. I'm just listening to them, while the Surkhet TX on 576 kHz also
appears well and healthy but is battling with the AIR Thiruvananthapuram
TX on the same freq, which has cricket news in English right now, at
1630 UTC...

NEPAL 576, 1615-1630, Radio Nepal Mar 27 Surkhet TX with Sarangi music
and special weather report in Nepali, some QRM from AIR
Thiruvananthapuram. (TR)

NEPAL 648, 1630-1650, Radio Nepal Mar 27 Dhankuta TX with typical Tamang
folk songs and announcements in Nepali. (TR)

73 de Thomas Roth, DL1CQ
27º42'N - 85º12'E
RX: JRC NRD-345
ANT: Dipole 20m long
