On 5.1.2020 at 0059z I was able to receive the new 25 KW transmitter of the Voice of Maldives at 1449 kHz. This frequency is mainly dominated by the BBC in Aberdeen. During a break in the program change from BBC Radio 4 to BBC Worldservice I could clearly hear the ID "The Voice of Maldives, welcome". My reception report was promptly rewarded with an e-QSL after 12 hours.

The Voice of Maldives has not been active on this frequency for a long time. The new medium-wave transmitter went into operation at the end of December 2019.

For those who think you would need long antennas for this reception: it was possible with an ALA 1530S + Imperium @home QTH, in the city center and far outside of my garden reception station.

Within 2 days I received this confirmation from AIR Northeast from Gantok Sikkim, via @mail. The often disturbed reception was on 30.8.2019 between 1629 and 1659 z on the frequency 4835 kc in acceptable quality possible. Antenna: 210 ° / 30 ° 50-m long wire. Thanks to D K Tripathi, Assistant Engineer at AIR Gantok for this nice confirmation from India.

My first radio contact with Myanmar (the former Burma) was in October 1974, when I listened to the BBS from Rangoon on 5040 kc. The Director of Information and Broadcasting Department was the signer on this verification card.
