Observations from Lao National Radio


6130, Lao National Radio, Vientiane, monitoring from about 1415-1430 (the start and end of the programs varies by 1-3 min.):
Su Apr 20 – non-stop talking in assume Laotian (scheduled "Virtue Program"?).
Mo Apr 21 – English language lesson, in English with assume Laotian translations throughout the program.
Tu Apr 22 – English language lesson, in English with assume Laotian translations throughout the program.
We Apr 23 – French language lesson, unlike the English lessons, heard only in French, played some songs in French.
Th Apr 24 – French language lesson, unlike the English lessons, heard only in French, played some songs in French.

This corresponds well with their listed schedule at their website. Would seem that my Sa receptions (Mar 29 and Apr 05) of English language lessons (programs "New Dynamic English" and "Functioning in Business") were anomalies for that day. The daily reception varied, but were mostly fair to poor. (Ron Howard, CA)
