Radio Free Asia (via Sulaibiyah)

Radio Free Asia via Sulaibiyah, Kuwait was received on 6 January 2020. A Lao broadcast of news and current events was heard from 00.00 till 00.30 UTC. Reception on 9.910 kHz was SINPO 45444 -- good signal strength and audio quality, no interference, slight fading. Fortunately RFA's Lao, Vietnamese, Burmese and Korean programmes are not jammed the way their Mandarin, Uighur and Tibetan broadcasts tend to be, and the culprit, winkie-wink, is China.  HERE is RFA (Sulaibiyah).

Reception report was emailed shortly afterwards, on the same day. QSL card arrived in the mail on 27 March 2020.
