Prior to that 11620 was coming fine at 1230 (6:30 CST) for 15 minutes and from 1330 (7:30) with a pgm in Sinhala. It was also pretty audible 2045-2230 (1445-1630 CST) with a program in English. Regarding 9665 at 1330 UTC, should it read at 9565 or is there an additional program on 9665 and 15020. I here an English pgm broadcast to North East Asia at 9565 and occasionally on the other frequency mentioned in the broadcast at 11760. K. Sankara Rao North Dakota State University
