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 \u201cLove Me Tender\u201d by the late Elvis Presley but now I\u2019m looking for help. Can anyone “Name That Tune”?<\/p>\n

Here is a recording made on October 9 around 1300 hours UTC using the LA6LU KiwiSDR in Thailand.
