Mizzima, a website specialising in Burmese news, gives a different schedule for Radio Australia’s Burmese broadcasts to the one we published yesterday. According to Mizzima, the schedule is as follows:
- 2230 UTC on 11840 and 5995 kHz
- 0030 UTC on 17665 and 9730 kHz
- 1530 UTC on 11980 kHz
If anyone can confirm the definitive schedule, that would be appreciated. The discrepancies may be due to the time conversion, as Burma is on UTC + 6½ h as far as I am aware.

Only monitored 0100-0130 Burmese service on 17665 kHz daily. Evening 11980 continues with English only service at 1600-1700 hrs.

* 2230 UTC on 11840 (correct) 5995 kHz (planned)
* 0030 UTC on 17665 (correct) 9730 kHz (planned)
* 1530 UTC on 11980 kHz (currently English, Burmese to come)

correcting times to previous (my apologies)
* 2300 UTC (0530 Burmese) on 11840 (correct) 5995 kHz (planned)
* 0100 UTC (0730 Burmese) on 17665 (correct) 9730 kHz (planned)
* 1600 UTC (2230 Burmese) on 11980 kHz (English now, Burmese to come)
Hope this clears the confusion.
