Update on Myanmar's Thazin Radio

 

Myanmar - Thazin Radio has been silent on shortwave since April 7, 2024.

It seems shortwave transmitter Pyin Oo Lwin is having a bit of trouble. However, I caught them tuning in on 639 kHz just now, at 13:00 UTC, mingling with a Thai station. Thazin Radio is part of the Myawaddy Communication Center and is owned by the military in Myanmar. It's financed by Myanmar Economic Holdings Limited (MEHL), which is a conglomerate owned by the military.

Myanmar - Thazin Radio from Pyin Oo Lwin site on 7345 kHz.

12.40 past 13.15 UT in vernacular. Lots of popular songs. Am I the only listener noticed improved signals from Thazin Radio. Has this station operated by Tatmadaw, upgraded its tramsmitter out put and the antenna system?

Pyin Oo Lwin of Myawaddy Radio center built in 2007 to 2008 years, some 208 far away kilometers north of new capital Nay Pyi Daw. Location is at  22 00 57.41 N  96 33 00.48 E or 22.01741925751829 N  96.55174262265729 E  northerly point in Myanmar.

Thazin Radio from Pyin Oo Lwin. I don't know the reason why Japanese Aoki Nagoya group circle recently put the 208 kilometers distant location - capital name - Nay Pyi Daw on their SW frequency database - for a year now, i.e. 6165, 7345, and 9590 kHz requested channels ?
