Myself and my neighbor Mark Carlsen both in NE Mass [18 miles north of Boston] have been monitoring Thailand on 15590 at 0000 for a few weeks. On 2 or 3 occasions the signal was a strong almost S9 with full readability then at 0030, it dropped about 3-4 S units due to the beam change. The other days there was no signal at all, not a trace of carrier except 1 time I heard them for a few minutes at 0000 then the signal faded out.

Radio Thailand does switch from a 6 to 30 degree azimuth beam at 0030UTC , as scheduled during the middle of the English hour long broadcast They remain on 15590 for Thai at 0100UTC and are supposed to switch to a 38 degree azimuth beam and are usually very good about switching ... but on Saturday Apr 10 at 0100UTC They didn’t switch. They did switch at 0030 and at 0200UTC when they go back to English though I record the 0000UTC Broadcast and can see/hear the switch at 0030 on my recording.. a 15 second complete carrier drop then sign back on with a few seconds of no audio is obvious. That drop and loss of audio at the VOA site in Thailand didn’t occur at 0100Utc today _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
