New logging

I finally got round to writing a report for my logging of AIR Thiruvananthapuram, a domestic shortwave station, which broadcasts on 5010 kHz. Normally it is not an easy station to hear clearly. On this occasion (logged 5 Feb at 1329 UTC) it was as clear as a bell. The broadcast was in Malayalam, the dominant language in the south western state of Kerala, but had the odd English bit in it, which helped.

I have sent the report to both the Delhi Head Office of AIR and the Kerala office. I have not had any luck with this station in the past, so my fingers are crossed. It is the only readily audible regional station I have not verified.
