Akashvani Kavaratti, the Lakshadweep Islands’ state-run mediumwave broadcaster, confirmed today my reception report regarding the reception of its rarely heard station on 1152 kHz.

“It is truly remarkable that you have been following the programme from such a great distance and have taken the time to share your thoughts on the content with us. Your message is both unexpected and very encouraging. It is gratifying to know that the programme has reached someone so far away and has struck a chord with them.”

It is a great pleasure to have received direct confirmation of this station. However, there is no need to wonder why the Union Territory of Lakshadweep is NOT an “EDXC Radiocountry”, whilst the Union Territory of the Andaman Islands is.
