MYANMAR checked Myanmar Radio SW last night, used the remote Perseus unit
at New Delhi India.

My strong assumption regarding the Myanmar signal strength these days is,
that only part of the power, for example 10 or 25 kilowatts,
instead of 50 kW, is in use.
The radio signals from Naypyidaw 5915 kHz
and Pyin U Lwin  6165 kHz are that 'thin' these days.

DBS#20 content:
5915 kHz Naypyidaw
Minorities px:
2300-1700 UT in Kachin, Shan, Palan Chin, Mindat Chin, Rakhine,
Wa and Kokang.
639 MW main px Pyin U Lwin: 0930-1430 Bamar, 1430-1500 E. 


6165 kHz Thazin R, Pyin U Lwin
Minorities px: 2330 Chin, 0030-0130 Kachin.
7345 kHz Pyin U Lwin
Minority px "Rakhine Broadcasting Station":
0930-1030 Kachim, 1030-1130 Pwo Kayin, 1130-1230 Sgaw, 1230-1330 Mo.
9590 kHz Pyin U Lwin
Minorities px:
0130-0230 Wa, 0230-0330 Geba, 0430-0530 La, 0530-0630 Po, 0630-0730 Kayah, 
0730-0830 Shan.

In Delhi India remote Perseus server access:
5914.982  MR  Nay Pyi Daw, S=4-5 poor -91.7dBm at 01.20 UT on Dec 20.
Similar tiny strength too on 6164.994 kHz from Pyin U Lwin at 01.24 UT.

The special Christmas themed material for tonight’s DX test is going to be fun—especially for those close enough to have easy copy of the test but there are also ’treats’ for even distant listeners. Who knows you might even get a message from the ‘Big Guy!’ Tune in!

SPECIAL WNJC 1360 CHRISTMAS DX TEST

The Courtesy Program Committee (CPC) of the NRC and IRCA wanted to get word out that WNJC 1360 Washington Township, NJ will be having a 2 all night DX tests. It's a Christmas miracle! :)

12/20 01:00 - 05:00 UTC Audio DX Test (.8kw)
12/20 05:00 - 11:00 UTC Audio DX Test (5kw)

12/21 01:00 - 05:00 UTC Audio DX Test (.8kw)
12/21 05:00 - 11:00 UTC Audio DX Test (5kw)

The CPC has prepared special program content for the test, including Christmas themed jingles and liners, some “offbeat” or wacky Christmas songs, Morse Code, and Santa’s Sweep Tones.

We can’t guarantee that WNJC will be the only station playing Christmas music on 1360 during the test, but I’ll take bets that they will be the only one playing Weird Al’s “Christmas at Ground Zero.”

Reports can be sent to kc2dux@duxpond.com <mailto:kc2dux@duxpond.com> or for a QSL card sent at least a 4x6 SASE envelope too

If you send a report by mail, please include a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope (SASE).

Thanks to Duke Hamann and the owners of WNJC. Their extended maintenance has given us a rare opportunity to have multiple tests from the same station throughout a good portion of the DX season.

FRANCE   New day for broadcast of Bayto Yiakl USA via TDF Issoudun
1530-1558 17545 ISS 150 kW 120 deg to EaAF, Tigrinya new_Wed, exSat
Bayto Yiakl USA via Issoudun is on air Saturday Dec 12.
Poor & weak signal via SDR Heimiswil, Switzerland on December 12
(Ivo Ivanov-BUL, hcdx via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Dec 9 / 12)

I guess Jeff White rent an older transmitter unit
on older Issoudun C / D / E curtain array location,
n o t   via 16 x  Ampegon / Thomcast Alliss revolving power units ?
Frequency varied up to 30 - 40 Hertz up and down,
centered mostly on
17545.069 kHz at 15.34 UT and through.
TX OFF switch at 15.58:05 UTC.
I would rather think,
that Jeff rent an oldie USSR transmitter unit
at Sofia Kostinbrod Bulgaria instead?
Because of frequency wandering ...
Others in 16 mb too at this half hour
