A quickie from Masset.  Bangladesh on 693 at good to very good levels.  
Thanks to the Grayland people for alerting me.  Easy catch at 14:30 with 
EE nx under/occasionally over NHK2 and in the clear after 15:05 when JJ 
signed off.  Have some good audio.  Overall a good morning./  Also some 
interesting stuff to ponder:  576 had Indian sounding music at 8 level 
at 15;06.   666 was weird at 15:28 with CC and JJ and SS soundiang 
music.  I considered New Caledonia as a possibility.  1548 had DW from 
SL at good level with EE at 16:19.  1575 had VOA and Fardabot and 
probably AFN at 16:15 in Bangla for VOA.  Who's on 1126.1 causing a loud 
het on 1125?
