Jose Jacob reports in the latest UADX Newsletter: “Myanmar noted today (27/2) on new 693 kHz MW at around 2300 UTC. It’s a bad choice as its neighbour Bangladesh is also operating on same channel with 1000 kW. Maybe its to jam their signals?” Jose says he is not sure whether this is an additional TX or a move from a regular channel.
UADX member Sarath Werakoon has meanwhile found this page on the website of Hong Kong-based Broadcast Technology Limited, referring to a project installing a mediumwave antenna and AM transmitter for Myanmar National Radio (MRTV) with BBEF (Beijing Broadcast Equipment Factory). It says the transmitter is 400 kW, and the project was completed in March 2010, so this is presumably what Jose heard.
