From Scotland Of East With A3E signal ....

Today(February 18th) while scanning the medium wave band around 0532utc (1102 ist) I found surprisingly good signal of All India Radio(AIR) Shillong on 864kHz and Western Music was on air.It was back to back Western Music  with announcement by lady about songs on air etc once or twice .The program ended around 0700utc with Eagles's number" Love Will Keep Us Alive" and it was followed by another program in Hindi called Umang perhaps relayed from AIR Delhi.
It was pleasant experience to listen to AIR Shillong on 864kHz(100kW) during late morning no noise at all on this particular frequency during 0532 to 0601utc onwards.
The signal strength was good no fading as such,noise level was minimum. Shillong is nearly 148.37km away aerially from my place and it is called also called the Scotland of the East. I have used my Grundig Yacht Boy 400 receiver with 75 Feet Length  33 ft Feet Height 
Long Wire Multistranded Cu .75sq mm Wire(Approx) end feeded with RG 6 coaxial cable

Here are links to the audio files I have recorded..Of AIR Shillong

and around 0600utc:
