This sounds like you are trying to listen to All India Radio---at the wrong times. Most of the listed frequencies (15335 is an exception) are beamed to Europe, and can be heard there (and usually here in New York State) from (roughly) 2030 to 2230 UTC (1530 to 1730 Eastern standard Time). 9910 is actually useless after the BBC signs on 9915 at 2200UTC; 7412 worked best the last time I tried. 15335 (and 17387) tend to be used in the morning (1000-1100 UTC, 0500-0600 EST), and can often be heard here. (I also heard 17387 in Europe last month, but with heavy fading.) Sergio Gelato 76.27W 42.29N
