I was sitting right there when Chuck went outside with his ultralight to
hear it because it was booming in on our Drake's. I am pretty sure that
Saul Chernos got in on that one, too. I had no ultralight, so I stayed
inside while those guys surfed the waves on the radio while listening to the
waves hitting the nearby beach!

Allen reported reception of 1071-India with his barefoot Ultralight radio
(Sony SRF-M37W) in Newfoundland a few months back on the Ultralight list.
As far as the first Ultralight radio reception of India in North America,
we heard through the grapevine that Chuck H. managed to hear 1566-India on
his Sony SRF-T615 during a Newfie DXpedition in November of 2008, but the
reception was not widely reported.

Definitely heard in Newfoundland in 2011, and perhaps earlier than that.
In
2011 it was markedly stronger - a new transmitter I believe. Several
dozen
other Indians heard from there, though I did better in 2010 as I recall.
Of course, Sylvain's reception is all the more remarkable because he is
inland, while in Newfoundland we were right on the ocean in Cappahayden.
Allen is also well-situated for this kind of reception.
The Perseus makes it possible to pick them off at sign-on time. 0020 UTC
is
a good time to aim for, with a distictive sign-on tune.
The first one we logged was 1566 many years ago, and it was entertaining
to
watch Dave Clark dance around the room with joy. (He was widely known as
an
Indian shortwave expert). We even proposed putting up a brass plaque on
the
grounds of the now torn-down DX Inn to mark the event. There are plaques
like this in various places around Newfoundland for first Transatlantic
flights, radio transmissions, undersea cable, etc. So why not India?
1071 is not so hard now that CBA has gone to FM, and there's not a lot of
stuff on the air in Europe either.
Well-done, Sylvain!

Just heard this for the first time today (Thursday). Congrats to Sylvain
on a great catch! This may be the first reception of this station from
North America.

While you guys are getting TAs on the West Coast, I've just heard my
irst Indian at 01:32 UTC on 1071 Khz. I have been waiting at this one
or a while now and fortunately, I heard it for the first time at
ransmitter sunrise.
The only drawback is that their sound was muffled/distorted. A pity
ecause the signal strength was fair enoughfor quality reception:

Hopefully, there should be some other opportunities...
From a happy DXer :-)
