On December 1,2014 from 0129UTC onwards I noted AIR-Kohima on 4850kHz with overall fair to good reception quality.This is after a long break I heard the signal of AIR-Kohima on shortwave.There was slight hum noise observed and also other noise was there.However, there was no signal observed during my several aircheck from around 0202 UTC onwards and however I noted AIR-Kohima  back on air with Relay of National Morning News from Delhi from around 0230UTC onwards.And from 0300UTC there was North East News Bulletin in English from AIR-Shillong North East Service.
This is coinciding with the beginning of Annual Hornbil Festival & the visit of Prime Minister of India to Nagaland State and to the Horbil Festival.There was also live coverage of Horbil Festival noted in Hindi & English alternatively as noted by me during my aircheck on AIR-Kohima on 4850kHz from 0458UTC onwards.
