Hearing here since 0049 with threshold audio (music and OM talk); not enough to ID anything. Low noise but steady but weak signal noted. Can't quite discern what the OM says.

I wanted to send these logs almost a week ago, but experienced problems sending e-mail.

TINAN: VOA 12.045 FEB 11 UTC 1404-1459 CH broadcast with music and (presumed) news, including pips at 1430, mentions of Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, Washington, and off air at 1459. Good.
 
INDIA: AIR 11.840 FEB 12 UTC 1259+ CH broadcast with time pips at the hour (no sign of Gladys Knight though), and mention of Beijing. Strong signal. Had this been EG, it would have been easy to copy.
 
INDIA: AIR 15.040 FEB 12 UTC 1309-1315 Burmese broadcast with a fast-paced mix of traditional and rock music. Off at 1315. Good.
 
SRI LANKA: SLBC 11.905 FEB 14 UTC 0159-0230 SC language, but several “Sri Lanka Broadcast Corp” IDs heard. Music and news after the hour with several mentions of “Iraq,” and traditional SC mx before signoff. Excellent signal.
 
NO. MARINAS: VOA 9.720 FEB 14 2245-2300 Fast-paced CH program with mixture of music and some (presumed) news items with correspondents and crowd noise noted. Time pips at the hour, then off.
 
GREECE: HELLINIKI RADIOPHONIA 9.420 FEB 14 2305 + OM with GK (and some EG), with a program featuring songs from The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour album including respectively, I Am The Walrus, Hello Goodbye, Strawberry Fields Forever, and Penny Lane.
