Box 76, Bush House, London, WC2B 4PH Incidentally, I got the above list from London and it took around three weeks. Just send a letter to the World Service on one of the above addresses. 2) Following are the times when you can listen to the World News from the world service: (A * indicates that the news is preceded by 15 mins of Sports Round Up) (A $ " " " " " followed " 10 mins of News About Britain) (All times are GMT which is 4 hrs advance of EST) (I generally receive it on 31 meters but other wave lengths are 13, 19, 25, 31, 40, 48, 49 etc. depending on time and your geographical location.) Hour 0:00 $ 2:00 3:00 $ 5:00 7:00 8:00 9:00 11:00 $ *13:00 16:00 17:00 *20:00 (remember this is the time when some of us used to go to sleep back home after listening to the Sports Roundup & World News) *22:00 23:00 3) These are all world service programs directed towards USA and CANADA. I donot know whether BBC's FAR EAST service (which we used to get in India) can be received here or not (most likely not). An identical statement holds for BBC Hindi, Bangla, Urdu services also. I doubt that they can be received here. 4) I doubt AIR, Ceylon can be received here. (The sender of the original message (516) referred to these). If some one has more info about 3 & 4, I would love to get it. thanks, Happy Listening, Neeraj Bhatnagar ----------------

Out here in California you can receive the Far East Service of BBC, Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu programs in the 41 and 49 meter bands. I have been able to receive them with a Kenwood R-11 receiver. I know of another friend in the San Jose area who has also been able to receive these broadcasts. If anybody needs more information on the exact frequencies please let me know. Surendra Lele
