Very pleased to hear it this well, and it's my 235th NASWA
country heard.
Please make the location Gangtok, rather than Srinigar...
SNIP----

And also note, that the region is part of India since 1967 or 1968, so you
heard a station in India, rather than a separate country. Unless this is
your first log from India, you can not count it as NASWA country 235
confirmed in your logbook.
It still might be quite a DX catch, though, so, congratulations! and Enjoy!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news to you, but it is indeed a separate NASWA
country. It may be a 'part' of India, but under NASWA rules it was and will
remain a distinct radio entity.

I suggest you check the NASWA List:

http://www.anarc.org/naswa/list/

Look under India on the list.

Funny you should mention 3390. I logged comm traffic on 3390 USB at 3:20UT,
Dec 18th. It sounded like American hams. I took them to be MARS operators.
They had call signs with the prefix "NNN".
