How far is china boarder away from buriram?

[Sandman77]

Today I got first time after the switch off of Thai radios

A Chinese fm station on 105,6 MHz

I could imagine that Chinese boarder is more then 1000 km away

That's amazing but I don't know exactly

[krisb]

Interesting.

I don't know how far FM can transmit, but in Australia we have a station 105.5 JJJ. Triple J transmits all over Australia, a distance much greater than China to Buriram anyway.

Not sure how it all works in if they use towers or whatever in seperate cities, they must, but this could explain how you are picking up a Chinese station. Maybe a nearby tower is receiving a signal.

So in the space of 30 minutes we've had from the OP the following threads.

ET comes to Issan lands in a garden in Surin.

How many visa exemptions can you have in one year.

And now this piffle.

You really need to get out more.

Did the Chinese boarder go wandering off from Buriram and now OP is trying to find this person? Did the boarder not pay his lodging bill?

[simon43]

You received this Chinese station due to unusual propagation conditions that can cause VHF radio signals to be reflected off one of the layers in the atmosphere, enabling the signal to be received much further away than intended.

The hobby of receiving radio stations (either radio hams or broadcast stations) from a long distance is called 'DXing'.

If you have an old VHF TV, you can regularly receive TV channels from China, Vietnam etc.

What a thrilling sunday morning for the op

Can't believe it took 8 posts before someone bagged him about the spelling and made a joke about it. On a side note my pit bull really is different...... wish I could say the same about my bargirl

[Sandman77]

Yes Iam realy interested in many thinks!

This whyy variety of questions is very high! The thaivisa board has done thing special!

That other expat boards not have, no matter what I ask, somewhere someone waiting that know the aswer no matter what it is!

And this make tv unique!

Nice book is the world radio and tv hand book!

How far the distance now?

Signal was only hear have hour then it disappears , like a fast train it goes away!

Of course they use different stations. FM is only good for 50-100 kms. Try going outside any populated area in Australia and see if you get any FM stations. Always wondered why less populated areas like WA and FN Queensland don't use the AM standard. Probably has to do with local ads in their programmes. But then again, Triple J doesn't have any ads.

I think you mean "border". A "boarder" is either someone who lives at school, or someone who does something with a board. You sound like an interesting person to spend the day with.

[ATF]

Are you sure it wasn't a Chinese Military signal? Maybe they are amassing forces forces close to Buriram searching for their boarder.

P.S. Civilian FM has a range of about 70 kms because Bangkok stations don't work in Pattaya and Pattaya stations don't work in Bangkok. Military doesn't use FM.

The Chinese boarder was staying in Bangkok perhaps?

[Sandman77]

I listen long time done Chinese station are Khmer radios

But not all sometime also English

But the talk around the hot soup nothing , I don't know allready!

Some fm stations proberbly that one

In Australia also using same freqency nationwide with a big signal tower network !

Same it Italy fm signals are very strong

You have clear stereo reception

In a car of 130 km speed with a simple Walkman headphone cable

After around 20 km signal getting weaker but not long time!

You look out the window then you

See a signal tower near the road

And the same freqency come back with full power for the next 20 km!

Sending a signal fm over a distance of 500 km need signal power 2000 watt !

Would be a health risk , for people

Living near such kind of this monster power station!

[harrry]

How do you know it was a chinese station. DId they speak a chinese dialect....or is a station nearer day in Laos talking chinese.

[doctorproc156]

It's probably a chinese language station being broadcast from Laos or Cambodia. It is impossible for FM to travel that far, maybe AM, definitely shortwave. At night it is a lot easier to pick up far away transmissions

For the love of god, don't move any more of his posts here.

The bin would be a good idea though, for want of a suggestion.

Just noticed this post. Are you the Simon that had a guest house in Phuket? If so, glad to see you made the move up here; or are you still in Little Russia!!??

[siamisaanpeasant]

or even,, just google,,,lol

....or even introduce the idea that invented political borders and distances have less to do with radio transmission. Ain't mysteries fun?

[Sandman77]

The general section is good for ever question!

Only know a Simon templer

On old tv series, or a simon the sorcerer in a PC game, a other simon I don't know!"

Hope you could shower again after one month and they stopped burning you to death. I Googled it and please feel free to enjoy TVF members kindness.

Would you please explain, where the missing 30 % of your relationship with your wife went to ? Might be worth to make a new thread, as many TVF members seem to be addicted to your stories now.

Please see map, the distance from Buri Ram to Yunnan is 1119.82 km, or 695.83 miles. I'm afraid you can't make the trip on your moped.

P.S. You'll have to type Buri Ram to....wherever you want in China and you'll see it.....
