Re: Laos off the air?
I think Laos 6130 kHz has been off for almost full year already, except for very short reactivations. It was easy to detect, because unlike Tibet it was always a bit below nominal. {- 6129.984 kHz} I have tried to contact them many times, but no reply now that Mr. Satchaphansy has retired. 73, Mauno

I guess not heard for some months, when Victor put his Perseus RX 'on air' on July 28th, nothing heard from Vientiane then via the Piliyandala SDR rx unit at Ceylon-Sri Lanka island.
I heard only China, despite Tony Magon-AUS VK2IC reported Aug 7 !

Hi Tony, Vientiane Laos has certainly done QRT before 13.30 UT.
At 13.30 UT only the channel request owner China was on the frequency channel. CHN PBS Xizang, Lhasa Baiding bcast center site in Tibetan, S=9+15dB signal strength in Hiroshima Japan heard remotedly.
S=9+30dB in Delhi India Perseus unit remotedly on exact even 6130.000 kHz. 73 wolfie df5sx

LAOS Lao National Radio shortwave service goes live online.
Government broadcaster Lao National Radio (LNR) has given its website a makeover and also made their National Service available on a with live audio stream from the site at
<http://lnr.org.la>
This includes their Foreign Language Service including English at 14:30 UT, which was observed at 14:33 UT today (the stream seems to have a 3-minute lag) announcing 567, 6130 kHz and Happy Radio 97.3 MHz FM.
The website also has four other buttons for present and future LNR live streams: LNR FM [103.7) Happy Radio (97.3) - not yet functional Butterfly Radio (94.3) - not yet functional Climax Radio (95.0) - not yet functional Programme schedules for all five services are also provided, translatable by Google Translate.
NB: the schedule for the National Service indicates that it goes off-air at 08:00-09:00 UT daily.
