MYANMAR I noted Radio Myanma, Burma 5985.7 kHz this morning at 1230 UT.
Very interesting sounding mx they have there. Not sure what caught my
attention first, the freq or the mx. Oct 16
I checked 5985.7 kHz again this morning Oct 17 but found it to be blocked
by WYFR on 5985 kHz. Is it possible that WYFR had a problem yesterday, or
are they merely off on Monday mornings?
