MYANMAR 5770 on 16 Oct, at 1448 UT, Myanmar Defense Forces Radio, with
talks by man in presumed Burmese interspaced with light female vocals.
Fair signal with moderate fading, but only about 42% modulation as
measured here. I had to use synchronous AM, and could still barely make
out what was going on. No QRM.
Supposed to be on until 1530 UT. Go get 'em!

MW Schedule of MRTV (Radio Myanmar) monitored in early September:
National (Main Sce) on Yangon 576 kHz (200 kW) and Naypyidaw 594 kHz
(200 kW): 0030-0730, 0930-1630 UT. English prgr: 0230-0330, 0700-0730,
1530-1630 UT. Yangon audio is delayed a second or two behind Naypyidaw.
Music Sce (Padauk Myay Sce) on Naypyidaw 711 kHz (400 kW):
2300-0130, 0730-1000, 1130-1530 UT. Also on Yangon 576 kHz 2300-0010v.
The Naypyidaw transmitter must be the one first reported by Jose Jacob in
February on 693 kHz, now shifted to avoid interference with Dhaka.
Yangon Sce (I'm not sure what the official name of this service is) on
Yangon 729 kHz: 2330-0530, 0730-1500 UT. I haven't seen any confirmation
of the power for this transmitter, but the signal is similar in strength
to 576 kHz so may well be 200 kW also. At 1330-1500 UT 729 kHz carries
distance learning programmes in parallel with 5915 kHz.
