Blog Logs - Myanmar


MYANMAR
5770, presumed Defence Forces B/Cing Stn, 1346-1358 Nov 7, vocal mx to 1351, then YL ancr. The mx was somewhat readable, but not the ancr. Still, better than usual.

5985.83, R. Myanmar, 1356-1426 Nov 7, kids choir with alt.
singing/reciting; YL ancr 1403 followed by Burmese vocal mx to 1426, at which time RCI signed on 5985 and ruined rcpn. Prior to 1426, signal had been pretty good. (John Wilkins-CO-USA, DXplorer Nov 12)

5040.39 R. Myanmar (pres) at 1423-1438 UT on Nov 15. Man and woman talking in language (Minority Service listed) continuing past BoH (which is ToH in Myanmar). Fair/poor, competing with the local noise. (John Wilkins-CO-USA, DXplorer Nov 16)

MYANMAR
I heard Myanmar Radio which is called MRTV-3 from sign-on at 0030 UTC until around 0130 UTC (fade out) on 7185 kHz on 10th Nov with a weak signal and Myanma music and speech by female announcer in local language. Best reception at around 0100 UTC. As the same program was on the web live stream, I can confirm it was Myanmar. The accentuation of the Bamar/Myanma language ist rather unique, so easy to distinguish.

On the web live stream frequencies are announced at the beginning of the English language programs.

So I combined following schedule (after monitoring the live stream)
0030-0200 7185 Myanmar language
0200-0245 7185 English, then break until 0330
0330-0700 9730 Myanmar language
0700-0730 9730 English, then break until 0930
0930-1430 5985 Myanmar language
1430-1600 5985 English

In earlier top-news I found listeners to confirm 9730 on 9731 kHz and 5985 on 5986 kHz. But the early morning program I heard on exact 7185. Are there others who heard Myanmar radio on these frequencies. I never traced them on 9730 in the morning. 5985 is absolutely impossible here in Germany due to DRM. (DRM LUX on 5990)
