SAUDI ARABIA   11935 kHz  Republic of Yemen Radio, 1800 UT on 7 April.
Tune-in to news and reports in Arabic, ended at 1827UT  with presumed ID
mentioning "Yemeniyah" and a series of announcements. Followed the broad-
cast on thisparticular day for the next 90 minutes or so with a mix of
programming - consisting of short talks, a discussion, musical interludes,
phone-in (withlight-hearted chat and laughing), short play, some a capella
singing; filler-type tune at times, an Islamic-related address by a female
mentioning "Muhammed", a couple of patriotic-sounding songs; lots of
mentions of Yemen atone time or another.
Went abruptly off mid-sentence at 2058 UT (and on 8th - off at 2058 UT;
9th - off at 2058 UT; 10th - off at 2101 UT; 11th - off at 2057 UT. Buzz-
ing noticeable on some days, which disappears when the audio goes off).
Fair to good.

INDIA/BHARAT   9620 kHz  Akashvani External Services, Bengaluru, at 1925
UT on 12 April. Arabic service in progress until 1930 UT, then switched to
what appeared to be news in Hindi for a few seconds before the IS kicked
in at 1931 UT and opening announcements in French at 1932 UT. This service
in French also included the regular "Spotlight" segment in English at
2000-2015 featuring a discussion & " key outcomes from President" Portugal
and Slovakia visits; (this programme matched the latest edition of "Spot-
light" available on the Akashvani app). Good.

9860 kHz  Akashvani (Bengaluru-Doddaballapur bcast center site), 0100 UT,
on Apr 9. Sindi lang section. IS before ToH heard. Break in transmission
at 0100:40 with return at 0101:20 UT. Fair to poor.

9860 kHz  All India Radio / Akashvani External Services, 0115z, Apr 12,
in listed Sinhalese targeting ITU zone 41NW (India plus Pakistan). 250 kW
at 325 degr azimuth. Sinhalese is the primary language of Sri Lanka so I'm
not certain why they are aiming NW rather than SE.
Is there a significant Sinhalese diaspora in India and Pakistan ?
{rather Sinhalese national working as foreign workers though
on Saudi peninsula / UAE, Kuwait and on Israel agriculture fields too ?
- probably, ed.}
Off at 0130 UT. A glance at the day / night map appears to show an all
daylight path but I think the signal must be enhanced by the gray line
since the reception is better than I usually get from India. My local sun-
set is at 0054z.

11810 kHz  AIR Pashto Service via Bengaluru, April 8, usual good signal at
1235 UT with mellow, entrancing subcontinental mx. This is a reliable fqy
for daily SWLing . . .
