Another win for Trump (breaking news)
It is a sad state of affairs when countries that claim to be civilised are not prepared to move away from that. But then Americans have never really seen the cost of war on their own soil. -

Polish Couple Fined for Public Nudity on Koh Phangan
That seems a little unfair! Indeed... the disparity of penalty between the male and the female seems strange - They both committed the same offence. Why is the male considered (potential) mentally unstable and the female not ? Would a Thai receive a 5000 baht fine ?? Did any of the following receive a fine or sent for psychiatric assessment ?? - it would be interesting to see the comparison... https://aseannow.com/topic/1358017-naked-man-stirs-phuket-market-raises-mental-health-concerns/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1331152-naked-man-creates-chaos-in-pattaya-disrupting-tourists/ https://aseannow.com/topic/1358242-naked-man-caught-masturbating-in-public-–-arrested-at-home-by-police/ -

SHORT WAVE RADIO
I missed this thread for a long time, so not sure if the OP is still in the forum. Anyway, my comments might be of interest to the OP and others: "Short wave radio" could involve the following: - listening to short wave radio broadcasts, music etc from different stations across the world - build up a collection of the confirmation of their reception 'QSL' postcards (either hard copy or e-QSL cards) - listen to domestic radio stations on the medium wave band, but from far-flung countries - receive interesting shortwave signals, such as weatherfax maps (there is a maritime weatherfax broadcast station in Bangkok) - receive SSTV (slow scan TV) images from radio amateurs or from CB stations across the world - receive data signals and images from the ISS (international Space Station) or various small 'Cubesat' satellites from mostly Russia, but also Japan - receive weather map images from USA and Russian satellites - Transmit and receive signals as a licenced radio amateur in Thailand. All in this list except the final one require no special permission or licence to receive the signals, and usually the required equipment is cheap and physically small. You often can use a simple length of wire as the receiving antenna, or a specific length of wire to provide enhanced reception. For example, you no longer need a bulky radio receiver. You can use an SDR (software defined radio) 'dongle plugged into your laptop, plus some free software. I use this to receive the various satellite images from the NOAA weather satellites, ISS and Russian technical college satellites. Attached are images that I've received from weather satellites, the ISS, shortwave weatherfax and Russian cubesats. To transmit signals, you need a radio ham licence, and that is a difficult route to follow, unless you already hold a ham licence from your home country, and then again only if it's one out of a very limited list of countries. If anyone wants to know more, please do comment! -
