Date of recording: 1/26/2023

Reciever location: KiwiSDR in Philippines/Thailand

Antenna: 40M delta loop

Notes: This is part one of two of a one hour broadcast from the BBC World Service Relay in Kranji, Singapore. Reason I had to do two parts was due to the signal becoming weak on the KiwiSDR in the Philippines, So I switched to one in Thailand which had a stronger signal.
