[IRCA] TP DX 10/07-Bangladesh 693?

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Not a bad morning..Stil no Filipinos I could find...But lots of JJ/KK/CC
in and one interesting frequency, 693 khz....At around 1420, I could
hear Indian type film music way under JOAB. It was there until after
1430, but before 1430, there was a pause in the music and a low pitched
man said something in an unid language. Very likely this was Bangladesh
running 1000 KW. I have not heard Bangladesh since 1994 when I logged &
QSL'd  558. Gee, I hope for a return to those days!  I tried for India
on 864 and Nepal 792, but no luck there as yet. I did find something
unid way behind the jumble on 1134 at 1440 with  JJ/KK, that may be
Calcutta. I never logged that one ether. 864 & 1566 are the only Indians
heard here. I only QSL'd 864. I will keep checking 693. This is
interesting to say least! With 1000 KW, it should be possible, as it is
not all that far from Thailand to Bangladesh and both run 1000 KW.
However, the propagation did not match the type I had in 93/94. That
propagation started out like FM skip, as early on it was good in
Northern Asia, then moved down to the Philippines,across Southern Asia
and then brought in Central Asians. Very odd conditions for MW, a bit of
"bending". In all of my years at the dials I have never heard that
again. But I sure would love a repeat of it!

73,
