Bangladesh
4750, Bangladesh Betar, Dhaka, 1320-1500* UTC. Sep 30 and Oct 01. With the absence of RRI Makassar, I am again hearing them dominating a very weak CNR1 underneath, reciting from the Qur’an and somewhat better than CNR1, but they both took turns fading up and down against each other, subcontinent music, sounded right to be in Bengali, brief ID and off. After 1500 only one station heard here (CNR1). Enjoyable to finally be able to hear them again, as I last heard them in Dec 2009. (Howard)
