5985.0, Myanma Radio, Naypyidaw, 1530, Fr Dec
25, Fair reception (very readable) in English, Station ID, news and weather, 1537
NHK's "Friends Around the World," a Thursday and Friday show,
interesting program about haioko short poems, with three lines of five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables. Clear audio at https://app.box.com/s/lgi98a89f41b0zq3nixafut8sah4ud8u
. Also heard at 1529, Dec 31, "Happy" New Year's song; 1530 New
Year's program preempted their normal segment in English; in vernacular. Song
"Auld Lang Syne" in English, program of light songs in English. (Howard).
In DX-Window 545 I saw that Myanma Radio relaying VOA. I heard NHK World program in Myanmar language on December 11, so I asked whether they relay NHK not only
in English, but also in Myanmar. The QSL Manager verified my report and
confirmed also the suspect: "We are broadcasting some programs from
"NHK World Radio" that we had contracted with NHK to relay programs
in Myanmar and in English. NHK is broadcasting in Myanmar and English
language". (Nurmela)
6165.00, Thazin Radio, Pyin U Lwin, 0025-0040, Dec 30, Chin indigenous
songs, 0029 Chin ID, 0030 Kachin announcement, 0031 Kachin indigenous song by duet with
rare string music, 0040 announcement, SINPO 45333. (Petersen)
7200.09, Myanma Radio, Yegu, Yangon, 1300-1312*, Dec 28. Vernacular, pop
songs, slowly improving till suddenly off. Reception contingent upon both RTI
and CNR1 (jamming) going off together at 1300*, but recently one or the other
has often run late. On Jan 02 jamming from China's CNR1 continued till 1400*, when
also Myanma Radio closed after playing indigenous
and pop music. But on Jan 04 stayed on all alone till
suddenly off at 1437*; after 1400, when Radio Taiwan Int'l and the Chinese jammer signed off,
was completely in the clear with some HAM QRM, but mostly fair/good
reception. (Howard)
