** INDIA. 5040, AIR Jeypore, July 14, with special coverage of the
India vs England cricket match; 1221-1304;
segments in both English and
Hindi; preempted regular programming, including the normal 1230 news in
English;
by 1255, could tell // 4810 (AIR Bhopal) and by 1303, made out // 4910 (AIR
Jaipur), but unable to hear 5010. My
local sunrise was at 1300 UT, while Jeypore sunset was at 1310 UT, making
for nice grayline reception. Thanks
very much to Jose Jacob (India) for this info, via Dx_India yg:
