AIR Chinsurah temporarily relay AIR Kolkata HS

Due to disruption of electricity for AIR Kolkata operating on 657 kHz & 1008 kHz in the aftermath of Cyclone Amphan,  the nearby Super Power Transmitter located nearby  (about 35 kms away)  of AIR Chinsurah  594  kHz  is temporarily relaying AIR Kolkata since yesterday  from 1430 to 1850 UTC  (8. 00 pm to 12.20 am IST)  & maybe other times. However being regional service, the full power of 1000 kW is not used. Last night they used 250 kW only but audible at my location in Hyderabad and at other places.

657 & 1008 kHz is  also broadcasting erratically.

AIR Chinsurah is broadcasting External Service in Bangla to Bangladesh (Mythree Channel) as follows also

0130-0430 & 1130 to 1430 UTC on 594 kHz  with1000 kW


Reception reports on  594 kHz  appreciated  to : chinsurah@prasarbharati.gov.in
