Re: [IRCA] [NRC-AM] India 1566 conclusion

Doug,

That would be possible. A pirate running AIR on 1566 in the US. I never
thought of that. What a novel idea. Someone would think they heard AIR
on 1566 if that is the case. Just because others have not heard it,
doesn't mean anything. I have heard pirates not reported by others
through the years. Especially on MW or FM as they may run low power.
   It reminds me of a story a friend told me once about his girlfriend.
She flew into Seattle WA in the 60s, and had her transistor portable
with her. She was trying to find something to listen to, and while she
was tuning across the dial, she came upto KIRO 710.  The ID came out of
the speaker "This is KIRO Radio". She said "I've got Cairo on the
radio!"

73,

- Someone relaying AIR without authorization?  Possibly a pirate in
Chicago?  (though you'd think Kaz and a few other folks would have heard
such a pirate)  

- Someone using AIR audio as part of a news story?  (remember, there was
a terrorist attack in Mumbai recently so the country's been in the news
more than usual)

- A domestic ethnic station mentioning AIR?

Houston area has a considerable amount of South Asian programming on its
schedule.
