  • 6x500kW Short Wave Transmitters of All India Radio Bangalore
  • thanx god
  • I am listening to your station now at 13:07 UTC on the island of Maui, Hawaii, USA. Your signal here is S/9 with moderate fading. I'm 12,902 km distant from your transmitter.
  • Some years ago I have heard Vividh Bharati on 10330 kHz / 500kW Broadcasted from Bangalore in the USA regularly but since the Frequency has been Changed on 9870 kHz it is not Possible to listen Vividh Bharati in the States and Canada. Many years ago I have listened AIR´s GEO-Services regularly on 6280 kHz with 500kW Transmitter Power Broadcasted from Bangalore towards Europe in USA and Canada. And now I can listen All India Radio´s English Services called General Overseas Services on 7550 kHz regularly in USA and Canada.
  • Here in the uk since Dec 2015 reception of 11.670mhz is not audible due to a drop in the fot for period 1745-2230 suggest drop 11670 and use 9950 1745-2045 from Bangalore and from 2045-2230 drop drm tests on 7550 and keep 9445 as scheduled at present for the uk.C.J Danpure,uk
  • Excellent and one of the prestigious DRM transmitter of All India Radio at Yelahanka, near Bengaluru. I am receiving good signal of DRM in Visakhapatnam. ...Dr.Thamminana Krushna Rao
