Gaweylon Tibetan Radio Program
broadcast was recently verified from Kolkata, India. The half hour Tibetan
programme from Gaweylon was heard on 4 July, 2015 between 12-1230 UTC, on 15215
kHz in the 19 meter band, relayed via FEBA using 250kW transmitter at Dhabbaya,
UAE (Babcock facility). SINPO for the
broadcast was 43433 at my QTH in Kolkata, West Bengal, India using RX Tecsun
PL660 with its extended telescopic whip antenna. The magazine program consisted
of traditional and modern Tibetan music and songs, including health and general
knowledge features.
A reception report along with a five minutes recording of the audio was mailed to their email id on the next day. An
email reply was received within a couple of hours from Mr. Anil Alfred
(Director) Gaweylon Tibetan Radio Programme thanking my effort and promising a
hard copy QSL within a few days.
A package from Gaweylon arrived on
13 July, 2015 consisting of the following collectibles – Hard copy (full data)
