This was a weak signal, but the talking in presumed Kachin and music were audible between when I tuned in and signoff. This broadcast is beamed toward Asia, though if it's on the beam listed in short-wave.info, it seems to be directed too far north for most Kachin speakers.

Heard this one again today (Aug. 18 UTC date) at 0005 UTC with a poor to fair signal and a woman talking in presumed Kachin.
