SLBC is also progressing with the installation of a 50 kW MW transmitter
in Puttalam on 1125 kHz to beam to South India where there are large
numbers of Sri Lankans who fled the war over the last 30 years, and also
to strengthen the coverage to the North of Sri Lanka.

THAILAND DAYTIME MEDIUMWAVE BAND SCAN FOR PATTAYA.
558 8 Sep, 0759 UTC, Thailand, Radio Thailand, (presumed Kanchanaburi due
to distance and signal strength). OM and YL talks with ID and lively news
program starting on the hour. Good signal strength. 10 kW.
594 8 Sep, 0808 UTC, Thailand, Phon. Por. Thor. Or. from Bangkok with
great signals. Had like about 20 commercials and PSA's in a row. This one
supposedly belongs to the military as well (Anti-Aircraft Artillery
Division) with supposedly only 5 kW.
675 8 Sep, 0818 UTC, Thailand, Sor Thor Ror 2 (Voice of the Navy),
Bangkok station with YL talk and interviews. Extremely strong signals here
in Pattaya (S9+) so 5 kW power may have been increased or a directional
antenna towards the South China Sea.
720 8 Sep, 0824 UTC, Thailand, Sor Thor Ror 5 (Voice of the Navy), Chon
Buri station, about 20 km away, with YL talk show with many callers,
ringing phone sounds, etc. Regional Station and NOT // 675 kHz above!
Local strength signals, no QRM.
747 8 Sep, 0830 UTC, Thailand, Ror Dor, Territorial Defense Dept.
Bangkok, with OM phone calls and some pop Thai music (actually quite
nice!). A couple of slow, echoing dramatic IDs on the half-hour as well.
