Hi Adam,
Yes, the static has indeed been lower in the past few days, but there is
still the standard summer static to be found. I'm afraid there was more
than just that involved. Several of these stations were at levels not
heard during the winter season!
I use a Microtelecom Perseus. It's a darned good unit and well worth
every penny I spent for it. Hopefully, in the next couple of years, I
will be moved ot into the country and away form neighbors with their
RFI=generating equipment. I will most definitely pay the extra to have
to power lines to my house buried. These are all lessons learned!
Currently, the lines to my side of the street are buried, but across the
street in another borough, the lines are still overhead. LCD and plasma
TV's are a bane here, but thankfully, I can contro9l those within my own
house and diminish their harmful effects.
I do use a Wellbrook AL1530P active loop, and I wold not part with it!
It's interesting. I have seen people posting YouTube videos of their
receptions. It just strikes me as odd: posting a web video of an
inanimate object. I understand that people would like to experience DX,
but a road trip to an isolated area with antennas and receivers could
give an even bigger thrill.

Good morning Victor,
just before I'll go to bed,
now I noticed that you had set your SDR Perseus online on-air
remote-net in {European deep night} tonight.
MYANMAR Radio noted at 0010 UT on 5915, 5985, 6030, and 6165 kHz too.
7200 was off at that time, but noted later with distorted audio quality
around 0025 UT Aug 18.
Exact measurement footprint was 5915.002 kHz, S=8-9 with typical Burmese
sing-sang language spoken female voice, but saxophone modern music at 0024
UT. Hit later co-channel from 0030 UT onwards by BBC Dari/Persian sce from
Oman relay site.
5985.805 usual odd unit of Rangoon site at 0015 UT, talk comment by male
voice heard, S=8-9 at Colombo Piliyandala Ceylon.
6029.993 kHz strongest signal in SoAsia S=9+20dB, nice local Burmese native
music at 0020 UT.
6164.995 kHz with modern Burmese pop singer in progress, S=9+15 to +20dB
signal strength.
Checked 7200v now at 0040 to 0050 UT, Rangoon Myanmar signal wandered down
from 7200.104 to 7200.100 kHz within a quarter hour, little fluttery signal
of S=7 to S9 level.
And two symmetrical spurious signals of S=6-7 signal strength were on air
too as always, tonight at 14.28 kHz apart on each side !
Spurs noted at 7185.820 {in Amateur Radio band !} and 7214.380 kHz.
Nothing heard on 7110 kHz channel so far.

MYANMAR The only station from Myanmar I heard at 1535 UT Aug 16th, was
older odd frequency unit at Rangoon transmitter site on
5985.794 kHz footprint, nice pop music program on S=9+10dB level, on remote
SDR unit at Brisbane Australia.
6165 was totally covered by CNR6th Taiwanese program, latter \\ 9420 to
check.
Nothing traced on 5915, 6030 and 7110 kHz so far...

Great that you were able to check this slot Ron. I returned home only past
1600 UTC. Just finished listening to the second EE program 0630-0700 on
9460 kHz.
Yes indeed 7110 was inside the R.Amateur band, though its hardly creating
any problems over here. 6165 here is on top of anything tho. However, note a
bit of a drop in strength on their return.

MYANMAR. 6165, Thazin Radio, 1430, August 14. Ex 7110. Thanks to Victor
Goonetilleke (Sri Lanka) for the timely alert that this tx had been
reactivated. The tx broke down after being last heard about December 25,
2012 on 7110, where I had been enjoying them almost daily. Thazin Radio
acknowledged the situation via an email to me: ?Yes, we have been
transmitter problems. So we don't transmit radio programs. We are repairing.
Thank you for listening.? So they have finally fixed it! Had very much hoped
they would return to 7110, but not so. Heard in English with the usual
formatting; pop songs; 1434-1441 sounded very much like the usual news;
1444-1448 one of their talk features. Barely heard under a strong CNR6,
which today was playing mostly music; mostly unusable, but was able to tell
was in English during infrequent CNR6 talk segments; went off before 1500;
very poor frequency for them, as even if there is an especially good day for
propagation, then likely CNR6 will also be stronger; a no win situation.
I know 7110 is in the ham band and they should not be there, but it was so
well heard last winter for their English segment that I have to hope they do
in fact return there again. Barring that, at least they should find a
clearer frequency!

Myanmar TV is available via the Optus D2 satellite with a variety of
programming in English. Their news bulletins are reminiscent of the old days
of Radio Peking when events that occurred a few days prior are reported in
bulletins.
