Hi Thomas

As per the announcement on the SWLing Post, Radyo Pilipinas did indeed return on the air December 1 at 0200 hours UTC on the announced frequencies on 12020, 15640 and 17665 kHz. I was able to hear all three frequencies quite well using the LA6LU SDR in Thailand, and made this 11 minute recording of them near the beginning of their broadcast on 15640 kHz:

Hopefully, Radio Thailand can make a similar arrangement with the USAGM.
