Finally Heard Radio Nepal On 5005kHz On September 25

Its my pleasure to inform you all that after random monitoring of  Radio Nepal on 5005kHz for several days during  0830-1115utc, finally I heard the signal on the afternoon of September 25th(2018) from 1037utc to 1111utc.The Signal faded away & also noise level increased after 111utc approx..& nothing audible as such.I used both my Grundig YB 400  with AC Adaptar.9V & GRUNDIG YB 80 Rx on battery with my EXT ANT:Cu WIRE 78' Length 30' Height With COAX LEADIN .The signal strength though was fair to weak and also with low audio intensity (low modulation) but whenever music was played its audio intensity became higher..There was moderate fading sometimes.There was live call-in show with listeners plus music was played as I undestood listening to it.Also hum was also observed. And I like to mention further the language of the broadcast was in Nepali Language.

Here are the link to the audio files recorded:
