All India Radio Retrospective

All India Radio was first logged and QSLed in the early 1970s when I lived in Colorado (USA). All India Radio was heard regularly on 11.620 kHz (SW), just before sunrise, as I recall. A few months after sending my first reception report to All India Radio I received a QSL card, depicting India's famed landmark, The Red Fort.

In Malaysia, a total of 47 All India Radio stations were QSLed from 2010 till 2018. Initially All India Radio confirmed a few stations, and then later, Spectrum Management & Synergy verified the majority of the stations listed below.
