Re: [IRCA] TP report from Masset for January 1 2019

AIR 1566 used to be a powerful dominant station in Newfoundland, but in the last 2 years we have not heard it at all.

Something has happened to their transmitter / antenna.

And if anyone is thinking conditions are to blame, over 40 Indians have been heard from Newfoundland although of course not all in the last few years.

In both places I also tried to match your reception of 1566-AIR, but the frequency is locked down by 3NE in the Cooks, and by 1570-KUAU splatter in Hawaii. I think that the key for west coast DXers to track down India is to be aware that almost all of the big gun AIR stations switch to an English news format at 1530 UTC, with all of them in parallel. Because of this 927-AIR and 954-AIR were both received in Kauai in November. 657-AIR was also received in Bengali in the Cooks, but only by some serious luck.
