Bangkok Meteorological Radio
 

.....Most interesting and exciting catch to me was however
Bangkok Meteorological Radio. It was heard 6th December
on 6765 kHz USB at 1535 UTC. Interval signal caught my
attention. They announced transmission times 0-2, 3-5,
6-8, 9-11, 12-14, 15-17, 18-20 and 21-23 GMT. On the
announced frequency 8783.0 there was only a sound
of telephone ringing and nobody cared to pick up. ;-)
(Check it out yourselves.)

Yes, that is what it is, weather information. At one point the woman announcer
was mentioning thunderstorms.

The report is sitting in my mailbox, even as I type!
