What was the programming on 1269? I assume it wasn't English so no chance of Australia. At that time, it shouldn't be the superpowered CRI west of you, so it must be Taiwan or Philippines although they are only 10 kw. It's curious it was apparently heard well in Phuket.
It would have been helpful if I had made note of the language. I do not think it was Thai. Penang and Phuket are 1460 and 1315 miles from Xuanwei, Yunnan. which is listed as 600kw. If it were directional south, it would be a remote possibility 3 hours before sunset.
Hong Kong: are you referring to the somewhat white knuckled landing approach between the mountains? Or do you not lik the pretzels they give to passengers?
Yep. The flight path to the runway was low, over dense population with mountains on either side. It was spooky at best.
