All India Radio - Port Blair, transmitting from their 10kW facility on the Adaman & Nicobar Islands, was logged on 6 February 2015. A Hindi language broadcast of Bollywood love duets, an advertisement intended for families, news, commentary and station ID was monitored from 12.00 till 12.50 UTC (05.30 pm till 06.20 pm Adaman & Nicobar time).

Reception report was emailed to AIR chief engineer and Spectrum Management on 7 February 2015. Since 2012, all previous attempts to QSL have failed. FINALLY!!! After over three years of trying to QSL AIR Port Blair I succeeded; on 1 April 2015 (no April Fool's Joke) Spectrum Management sent a verification card. THANK YOU!!!
