MYANMAR I heard Myanmar Radio which is called MRTV-3 from sign-on at
0030 UTC until around 0130 UTC (fade out) on 7185 kHz on 10th Nov with a
weak signal and Myanma music and speech by female announcer in local
language. Best reception at around 0100 UTC. As the same programme was on
the web live stream, I can confirm it was Myanmar. The accentuation of the
Bamar/Myanma language ist rather unique, so easy to distinguish.
On the web live stream frequencies are announced at the beginning of the
English language programms.
So I combined following schedule (after monitoring the live stream):
0030-0200 7185 Myanmar language
0200-0245 7185 English, then break until 0330
0330-0700 9730 Myanmar language
0700-0730 9730 English, then break until 0930
0930-1430 5985 Myanmar language
1430-1600 5985 English
In earlier top-news I found listeners to confirm 9730 on 9731 kHz and 5985
on 5986 kHz. But the early morning programme I heard on exact 7185.
Are there others who heard Myanmar radio on these frequencies. I never
traced them on 9730 in the morning. 5985 is absolutely impossible here in
Germany due to DRM. (DRM LUX on 5990)

Blog:
So there I am, driving along the Randweg, a road on the southern side of
the my home town, Huizen, in the Netherlands.
I came up to a roundabout that has been recently renovated and what did I
see? A half-size replica of the world's first rotatable shortwave
transmitting tower ... slap bang in the middle of a new roundabout.
