Re: [IRCA] India heard on 1071 this evening

Sylvain -

I suspect you will hear the brand new 1 Megawatt transmitter on 1071. It 
does not surprise me that 1566 is so difficult as their signal strength 
has declined for many years. Last fall, on the average they were not 
better than the UK locals which are at sometimes at fair levels in 
Newfoundland. Many years ago, they could be dominant and powerful and 
fun to listen to.

This is just like what happened with 1071 up until 2005 - an aging 
transmitter that had nowhere near the signal of its youth.
