864	ARMENIA  Yerevan, 31 Dec, 2024-2041 - Short pieces of classical piano 
music, male announcer in Armenian I think, talked to children at 2030, mentioned
names and Yerevan a few times around 2033, sudden change in music style (to 
orchestral dance music) at 2034, male and female announcers now definitely in 
Russian.  SIO 222: the signal was below the Koran from Egypt, but there are lots
of silent spaces in the Koran recitation.  I found a definite // with 7479.9 kHz
at 2032 (4810 kHz was // also, but it was weak and seriously QRMed).
