Merely reporting the weather in my area.....
OK thank you for the instructions. Following these guidelines, I did receive something from noaa15, although no idea where this is, and no idea, if this picture is from the satellite or if this is some map overlay from the software. The next satellite noaa19 gave some islands which I cannot identify either. Therefore I imagine that "3 - Your antenna is not suitable (what antenna are you using?)" is the next thing to address. I'm using a dipole built some time ago for 162MHz for AIS ship position, which worked well for that purpose. So the SDR and cables might be good and I'll remake the dipole next. -

Community 14-Year-Old Boy Takes Own Life After Losing Grandfather’s Savings to Online Scam
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A 14-year-old boy has taken his own life in Chachoengsao province after reportedly being deceived by online scammers, resulting in the loss of several hundred thousand baht from his grandfather’s savings. The event occurred on the evening of 31 May and has left the local community in deep shock. The young victim, identified only as “A” for privacy reasons, was found dead beneath his family’s stilt house in Khlong Khuean district with a gunshot wound to the head. Authorities confirmed he had used a firearm to end his life. According to reports, the boy was under intense emotional stress after the scam and feared disappointing his family. The incident was reported to police at 19:00 by Pol. Lt. Supanya Phetthongkliang of Khlong Khuean Police Station. Rescue workers were dispatched to the scene, where the boy’s lifeless body was discovered. His father, referred to as “Mr. B”, 39, had attempted to resuscitate him after locating him in a nearby garden area, approximately 700–800 metres from the family home. According to Mr. B, the family was first alerted when a friend’s father called to say the boy had sent a suicide video. He rushed home, asking the boy’s grandfather to check if the firearm kept in the house was still there, it was missing. Guided by the video, Mr. B followed clues to his son’s location, where he found the boy’s phone by a coconut tree and moments later, saw his son’s body partially submerged in water. Desperately, Mr. B retrieved his son and tried to revive him by performing CPR and carrying him over his shoulder to drain the water, but the attempt was in vain due to excessive blood loss. He recounted that his son had previously admitted to being tricked by scammers into transferring large sums of money. Upon closer inspection, the family discovered that the boy had first transferred funds from his grandfather’s account into his own before forwarding them to the scammers, a detail that deeply upset the family. This revelation is believed to have played a critical role in the boy’s deteriorating mental state. A friend of the deceased shared that during a video call earlier that day, the boy had expressed suicidal thoughts and asked for the conversation to be recorded and sent to his mother. The friend said they didn’t believe he was serious at the time but complied with the request nonetheless. Police have launched an investigation into the scam and are reviewing the digital trail left by the victim. Meanwhile, grief-stricken family members are calling for greater awareness of online fraud and its devastating psychological impact, especially on vulnerable youth. If you or anyone you know is in emotional distress, please contact the Samaritans of Thailand 24-hour hotline: 02 713 6791 (English), 02 713 6793 (Thai) or the Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai). Please also contact your friends or relatives at this time if you have feelings of loneliness, stress or depression. Seek out help. Adapted by Asean Now from Khaosod 2025-06-02. -

Crime Over 20 Baby Macaques Found Stuffed in Bags & Abandoned in Ratchaburi Forest
Picture courtesy of Kaoded Wildlife officials have uncovered a disturbing case of suspected illegal animal trafficking after more than 20 baby macaques were found stuffed in mesh bags and left in a forest in Ratchaburi province. Mr Sirikun Sangtaku, head of the Khao Prathap Chang Wildlife Sanctuary in Chom Bueng district, was alerted by local leaders in Hin Kong subdistrict after a shocking discovery in a remote forest area of Moo 1 village. Authorities trekked approximately 200 metres into the dense jungle, where they found several blue mesh bags tied to trees. Each bag contained one or more infant macaques, with a total of 25 baby monkeyscounted, crying and writhing in distress. Many of the bags were sealed with cable ties, some of which had been cut or were lying unused on the ground nearby. Inside the bags were small amounts of food, such as jicama and various fruits, indicating that the animals were being kept alive for future transport. The grim discovery was made by local resident Mr Phrae Kamkoet, who had ventured into the forest to forage for mushrooms. “I heard what sounded like a child crying,” he said. “When I followed the noise, I found all these monkeys in bags. It was shocking. I immediately reported it to the village leaders.” Authorities believe the macaques were temporarily stashed at this location as part of an illegal wildlife trade operation, possibly awaiting transportation to buyers. According to Mr Sirikun, the value of each baby macaque on the black market ranges from 1,500 to 2,500, typically sold to individuals who consume exotic animals, despite the species being legally protected. “This was likely a holding point,” Mr Sirikun said. “If the news hadn’t spread so quickly, we may have been able to ambush and arrest those involved in the trafficking. Unfortunately, now the suspects will be more cautious.” While officials were rescuing the animals, they encountered two men riding motorcycles suspiciously near the site. When questioned, the men claimed they were hunting for wasp nests to sell and were released after no evidence linked them to the macaques. A survey of the area revealed signs of recent clearing and over 100 discarded cable ties, further suggesting the forest clearing was being used by a wildlife trafficking ring to hold captured animals before transport. The baby macaques have since been relocated to the Khao Prathap Chang Wildlife Sanctuary for care and rehabilitation. Wildlife officials have vowed to intensify patrols and monitor the area in hopes of identifying and apprehending those responsible for the cruel and illegal trade.
