An archival recording found by the staff of All India Radio quotes
Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King Jr as saying Gandhi ?embodied
in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral
structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as
the law of gravitation.?
The recording was made a day before he left India in March
1959. The recording dated 9 March 1959 is available on All India Radio
at the website http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/press_release/2009/Jan/MLK
on All India Radio.mp3. The transcript is also available on the Embassy of
India in Washington?s website at
http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/press_release/2009/Jan/17.asp
Invited by then Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, King
along with his wife Coretta and biographer Lawrence Reddick, arrived in
Mumbai on 9 February 1959, and traveled to New Delhi and several other
cities over the next four weeks.
The 50th anniversary of that historic journey is being
commemorated this month with a visit to India by King?s son, Martin
Luther King III; members of the US Congress, including Representative
John Lewis who is the last surviving speaker from the 1963 March on
Washington; Clayborne Carson, editor of several volumes of King?s
papers; jazz musician Herbie Hancock; and others.
This State Department?sponsored tour will include two musical
performances by Hancock plus a special tribute by Indian musicians.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
** AUSTRALIA. 2485, VL8K Katherine NT, Feb 6 at 1351 discussing the Universe,
surprisingly good here, S9+12 but deep fades; almost listenable, and could only
detect carriers with BFO on 2310, 2325. Sunrise here was 1328 UT and getting
one minute earlier every day (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11765, S?per R?dio Deus ? Amor, Curitiba, Feb 5 at 0628, wacky
wailing David Miranda preaching in Portunhol, overriding BBCWS English via
South Africa with 25 times the power, as listed in Aoki, which also says ex-R.
Tupi is off the air between 0300 and 0900. Something does not compute. ZYE726
also so strong that it was causing ACI to RHC on 11760, and one had to
side-tune downward to avoid (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11815, R. Brasil Central, Goi?nia, music // 4985, Feb 5 at 0630.
11815 only fair, much weaker than 11765 and 11925 Brazilians; 11780 not on yet
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** BRAZIL. 11925, R. Bandeirantes, S?o Paulo, such a treat to hear real
Brasilian programming rather than gospel huxters; Feb 5 at 0631 talking about
Carnaval do Salvador; 0632 ``Bandeirantes, a caminho do sol``, meaning on the
way to sunrise, timecheck for 4:30 am --- but that`s DST, it`s really only 3:30
am; news headlines. Good booming signal. Only on a fraxion of nites does the
MUF co?perate for such reception up to 12 MHz (Glenn Hauser, OK,, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. CRI English, 5955, weak but clear at 1410 Feb 6, an echo apart from
Cuba 13740. 5955 is 95 degrees from Beijing site, per Aoki (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 9000, Firedrake mixing with some other audio, maybe Sound of Hope
itself, or an additional CNR-1 jamming source? Feb 6 at 1420, stronger than
8400 but both poor (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. RHC normally closes 6180 in Spanish at 0500, per sked, but Feb 5 at
0657 it was still going with news sounder, 0658 timecheck for ``8 de la noche,
hora nacional en toda Cuba``, so a replay from 6+ hours earlier! Distorted,
lo-fi, adjacent-channel interference from Bras?lia 6185. RHC still going past
0700. Next nite, Feb 7 did not check until 0723 and it was not on (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4790, Feb 6 at 1359 tuneby with the RRI theme, Song of the
Coconut Isles. At http://www.intervalsignals.net you may hear this on the RRI
Pro-3 clip rather than Fak2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 2850, KCBS, Feb 6 at 1354 with singing, weaker than VL8K 2485,
26 minutes after LSR (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. Shiokaze, Sea-Breeze, the service obsessed with North
Korean kidnappings of a few Japanese years ago, has returned to their previous
frequency via Japan, 5910, after a few weeks on 5985: Feb 6 at 1407 in
heavily-accented English, as usually on Fridays, mentioning bombing of that KAL
flight; 1412 speculating on Obama`s policies vis-?-vis P`yongyang. 5910 is
better here, no QRM except for lite splatter from WBOH 5920 (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. This time I was waiting for Furusato no Kaze to start via
Darwin, 9880. Less than a minute after R. Japan finished 9875, Feb 6 a few sex
before 1430 heard a few words of Chinese, then into Japanese. Unco?rdinated
switching at Darwin; wonder what the Chinese was about (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** KUWAIT. 13620, R. Kuwait presumed, doing very well against WYFR 13615, Feb 6
at 1537 with ME music; 1611 recheck still good and WYFR gone, axually closing
at 1545 per Aoki; fast-paced Arabic programming mixing music and talk. Kuwait
is 310 degrees toward us, while 13615 is 160 degrees away from us (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** RUSSIA. R. Rossii, 6075 via Pet/Kam, has developed a slightly unstable
carrier --- or is it a modulation problem? Hard to tell, a bit of motor-boating
underneath audio on Feb 5; and Feb 6 with late timesignal at 1400 and stayed on
for a semiminute while I reconfirmed 8GAL; see UNIDENTIFIED (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 3623, open carrier again Feb 6 at 1355. Following my previous
log, Robin Harwood in Tasmania says it`s probably Japanese meteo; S. Hasegawa
says JMH, a 5 kW NTT transmitter at Nazaki which carries Kyodo News and Meteo
Fax, on 3622.5. Maybe I have caught it during idle moments, but this time I
measured to be sure and it was on 3623.0, or within 0.1 of there (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, Feb 6 at 1400 V/CQ marker started during R. Rossii closing
timesignal on 6075, and was strong enough to reconfirm tactical ID as 8GAL,
probably Russia too. Last year this was not heard after Feb 28 (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIEED. 8000, with regular beeps on modulated carrier you could take for
timesignals except there were 36 of them per minute, and no marker on the
minute, Feb 6 at 1419. I believe there used to be something here from Japan
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

7135 BELARUS, R. Station Belarus heard at 2341 on 6 February in Russian
with Techno music and DJ. Fair signals, even though meant for Europe
7225 CHINA, PBS Sichuan "Minorities Program" heard at 2317 on 6 February
with a woman announcer in Mandarin. Seemed to be reading from a list and
was quite repetitive until some piano and guitar music and a presumed
station ID at 2330. Very weak for 10kW.
Feels like forever since I have had a chance to DX! A major power disaster
at work on Thursday left about 70% of our IT infrastructure down and most of
the weekend was spent replacing and repairing that equipment.
NEPAL - I haven't seen the 5005 carrier in a few days, but I have just
received an email from Ram Karki who is working out in the field there. He
tells me:
"Great apology for not replying on time. I was away from home and it is very
difficult to find internet and power supply together. We have power supply
only 8 hours a day and 16 hours of power supply cut.
"Regarding SW transmitter, I need to find the donors. Government is not
funding us this time. We are not in priorities. So it may take long time."
I had no idea that things have gotten so bad there. It seems that DX'ers
will still have to wait a while more before a new shortwave transmitter is
brought online in Nepal. Ram personally delivered my QSL to me in 2006 when
he returned to Sudan from annual leave. Maybe USAID or some other grant
machine will come through for them.
