Radio NUG – 11940 kHz

At about 1403 UTC on the 25th day of July 2024, I tuned in to Radio NUG, broadcasting on 11940 kHz in the Burmese language.

The signal was coming from the Paochung 300 kW transmitter in Taiwan. (Short Wave Info 2023)

The overall reception of Radio NUG was fair.   The signal strength was good and there was only slight fading of the signal.  However, there was a strong buzzing noise similar to an Over the Horizon Radar on or just below the frequency. I am unsure if it was deliberate interference.

SINPO
