Bangladesh
15105.0, Bangladesh Betar English service here with a very weak signal, 12:35 - 13:00*. Was able to ID them only by going to the webSDR at University of Twente in the Netherlands which had a very good signal. During musical selection, it was very clearly the same station I was hearing.

At 12:58, announcer promised music, but received two minutes of loud hum instead. At sign-off male announcer with postal and web addresses for Bangladesh Betar. (Arthur Delibert, Maryland/HCDX)

Japan
6115, Radio Nikkei HS-2 Chiba-Nagara 0842-0900.* Continuous ballads to announcer's Japanese item at 0859 mentioning kilohertz and tentative mention of Chiba. Signal weak but clear in ECCS-USB.

("Logos" in Christian theology is the creative word of God.) At 02:16, male announcer with clear mention of "Radio Logos" and "kilohertz." Then another song, and into anthem. Signal was good enough that utility station on USB was not a problem, but CODAR was enough to induce madness. (Albert Delibert, MD/HCDX)
Radio Logos, 4810kHz. Heard also here in the middle of Europe at 0245UTC until sign-off at 0300. Popular melodies, national anthem and a short piece of marimba music before the transmitter was switched off. Weak signal. (Karel Honzik/HCDX)
