After months of prolonged silence, the familiar voice of the *National Radio of Laos on 567 kHz from Vientiane has finally returned to the airwaves. Last evening, December 18, 2024, the station was heard broadcasting in Lao from around 12:30 PM local time until its sign-off at 13:00 UTC (8:00 PM Vientiane time). Just before going off the air, the station ID was announced twice, with the words sounding like: “Thini… Nee mai n Vee-ta-nyoo Ka-chai-siang Heng Sat Lao.”
I tuned in again this evening, 19 Dec. and found the signals steady and the broadcast as captivating as ever. The nostalgic tone of the station made it a moment to savor—like reconnecting with an old friend whose voice stirs long-buried memories !
