I've never understood how the "easy listening" music genre got its name.  
I find it one of the most grating styles of music.  :-)

As for other stations, I just noticed in Daniel Sampson's list at Prime 
Time Shortwave that Radio Thailand is using two US relays on 5890 kHz; one 
at 0030 and one at 0300.  Reception was good, but the only problem is that 
the program seems to be a one-hour newsmagazine-type program, with the 
second half-hour being aired live from 0030 to 0100, and the first half 
airing at 0300.  That, and it was full of promotional considerations, with 
an advertisement for a hotel being disguised as a feature on how a hotel 
provides for its business-class travelers, and a note at the end on which 
brand of computers was used to produce the program.  :-)

Radio Prague was booming at 2230 UTC on 7345 kHz.  Today's Easter Monday 
program had an interview with one of the members of the underground band 
Plastic People of the Universe.

And Radio Taiwan International is still using 5950 kHz at 0200 UTC, which 
comes in quite strong.
