Myanmar

”I’ve just been checking 711 kHz with a signal in Burmese, which turns out to be MRTV 2nd programme “Thapyay Radio” launched in July according to https://mrtv.gov.mm/mm/news-116750 – on 711 kHz for Central Myanmar, and it’s also on FM 99.6 in Yangon. Just speculating, but the 711 kHz transmitter may well be the same unit that was used by Thazin Radio 639 kHz from Pyin U Lwin, which I haven’t been able to hear since Aug 2019. A 400 kW Chinese-made transmitter was used by MRTV Naypyidaw initially on 693 kHz from around 2008 (co-channel Bangladesh Betar), before shifting to 711 kHz, but it apparently went off air some time before Thazin Radio launched on MW around 2012.”
