Really good audio and signal at 2250UTC Saturday night (250pm local time)
in McGrath, Alaska. Heard with Chicago's "25 Or 6 To 4"

Interesting to note, but not many people in the US can hear them..

Radio Thailand does switch from a 6 to 30 degree azimuth beam at 0030UTC ,
as scheduled during the middle of the English hour long broadcast

They remain on 15590 for Thai at 0100UTC and are supposed to switch to a 38
degree azimuth beam and are usually very good about switching ... but on
Saturday Apr 10 at 0100UTC They didn’t switch.

They did switch at 0030 and at 0200UTC when they go back to English though

I record the 0000UTC Broadcast and can see/hear the switch at 0030 on my
recording.. a 15 second complete carrier drop then sign back on with a few
seconds of no audio is obvious.

That drop and loss of audio at the VOA site in Thailand didn’t occur at
0100Utc today

Raido Thailand’s issue is... it’s a poor frequency choice for North America
at the tune of day they’re doing it plus they beam over the pole to try and
achieve this, I think.

I wrote a long letter years ago to the director with some suggestions.

What did I get back? A blank QSL card

Myself and my neighbor Mark Carlsen both in NE Mass [18 miles north of Boston] have been monitoring Thailand on 15590 at 0000 for a few weeks. On 2 or 3 occasions the signal was a strong almost S9 with full readability then at 0030, it dropped about 3-4 S units due to the beam change. The other days there was no signal at all, not a trace of carrier except 1 time I heard them for a few minutes at 0000 then the signal faded out.
