BC-DX TopNews WWDXC #945 BC-DX 945

In past days as well as Apr 2nd noted Voice of Russia program in Urdu 14-
15 and Hindi 15-16 UT on very high frequency of 17495 kHz, observed here
on two different rxs.
Was puzzled a bit of an intermodulation on Dushanbe, Chita, Irkutsk, or
Novosibirsk site. But no formula works so far. [ 6 + 11.5 MHz, 9.9 + 7.55
MHz neither].
Dushanbe 17495 kHz is scheduled from 0700-1000 UT for VoRUS towards South
Asia and AUS/PAC.
So maybe the engineers let the tx on air still in the afternoon til
1600 UT ? Or just propagation test into South ASian subcontinent?

GTRK Kamchatka in Russia has verified my reception report with a proper
QSL card (f/d except for tx site, but that is unambiguous in this case)
after 4 weeks. They also included a nice postcard featuring
Petropavlovsk's local volcano, a very pretty view as long as the mountain
is quiet.
The transmission schedule of regional programmes is handwritten on the
back:
0700-0730, 0810-0900, 1100-1130, 1310-1400, 1910-1924, 2010-2100, local
time, daily except Sundays.
I heard the station on 6075 kHz in Colorado, which is impossible in
Germany due to Deutsche Welle 24/7. Their address on the envelope is
GTRK Kamchatka
ul.Sovetskaya 62
683000 Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskij
Russia
I send them a RR in Russian, but as the QSL is in English that should
work, too.
