Hi there, this is a weak signal but a first ever catch for me, which is always great. At least now I know it's possible to copy VOLMET from Thailand, I will be checking this frequency more often to obtain a better signal.

Recorded on 30/04/26 at 23:11 hrs UTC using a Wellbrook ALA1530 magnetic loop antenna, outdoors, via a Bonito/NTi AntennaJet RF splitter.

Thanks for watching and 73.
