153 khz  audio too faint to make anything out but definite male talking in unknown languageat 6:31 utc
162 utc  at 5:30 utc  v faint talking  then at 6:35 - 6:40 utc  much better audio, male and female announcers talking in French, bits of music at times.
198 khz  at 6:33 - 6:35 utc v faint male and female speech, no idea what language, still v faintly hear a woman and man talking at 7:05 - 7:08 utc.

Interesting, while I've heard others mention stations in this band I never before been able to hear them for myself... Great night for long wave!!!

Stumbled into two LW broadcasters tonight..

189 khz AM  Not sure but maybe ISL?
4:12 utc  Female Announcer ID? ? language ? into Jazzy tune
4:16 utc  Female announcer same possible ID? into tune w/ UNID Female singer pop tune in English
4:20 utc Different ID Christmas wishes? Sound like same female announcer into UNID Christmas like tune, male singer, unknown language

182 khz  4:23 - 4:30 Various Female and Male announcers speaking French  Most Likely this is Europe 1 ?

Both have all but faded out by 4:45 utc. Here is a DDC waterfall of both..
(Edit) Up to 6:50 utc 189 khz has bounced back and is by far the most reliable tonight, good music too, 182 khz has been faintly audible several times
but often fades away completly
