Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Dan Greenall, who writes:
Bangkok Meteorological Radio in Thailand broadcasts marine weather several times a day on 6765.1 and 8743 kHz USB in both Thai and English. An interval tune is played between the Thai and English segments that has left me trying to put a name to it for nearly a week as I play it over and over in my head. There seems to be a vague resemblance to “Love Me Tender” by the late Elvis Presley but now I’m looking for help. Can anyone “Name That Tune”?
Here is a recording made on October 9 around 1300 hours UTC using the LA6LU KiwiSDR in Thailand. Have Fun!

Program “Thru the Bible”, with J. Vernon McGee, Radio ELWA, Monrovia, Liberia, 6050 kHz
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares the following illustrated radio listening report and QSL of a recent Radio ELWA broadcast.
Update/Correction: It was discovered after posting this recording and message that it’s actually Radio ELWA’s 72nd anniversary year, despite a recent post on their website claiming it was their 70th anniversary.
Carlos notes:
While conducting these recent radio listening sessions, I discovered that ELWA Radio celebrated its 70th anniversary in May of this year. To mark this occasion, I decided to create a commemorative illustration of this station, which is a true symbol of the resilience of the Liberian people.
I was informed by the station’s manager, Rev. Perry Saydee, that the program I tuned into yesterday, October 14th, is called “Thru the Bible,” and searching on YouTube, I found the audio related to my radio listening session.
The program is hosted by Steve Shwetz and shows sermons by Dr. J. Vernon McGee, Presbyterian minister from the United States who died in 1988
I was kindly awarded with this e-QSL card due my listening report of October 13th.
Today, October 15th, I also managed to capture ELWA Radio’s interval signal.

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Jack Dully, who shares a Tecsun Australia article highlighting several shortwave stations including Shortwave Australia.
Shortwave Australia is a non-profit station transmitting from Central Victoria in the 120-meter and 60-meter bands on 2,310 kHz and 4,835 kHz. Late afternoon and nighttime coverage typically reaches much of southeast Australia under normal conditions. Of course, Shortwave Australia would be a brilliant weak signal DX catch from outside the region.
Their programming is varied and intentionally distinct from mainstream broadcasters — a reminder that shortwave radio still provides space for independent voices and creative content!

Listeners can reach the Shortwave Australia directly at [email protected] or via their Facebook page.
