Courtesy of Des Ball at the ANU here is the Burmese crossed-loop HF/VHF DF system located about 500 metres up the Mekong from Ban Sop Ruak (the so-called “golden triangle”). It is presumably for tracking the radio communications of vessels moving up and down the Mekong, but can be used for locating any HF or VHF transmissions in northwestern Laos and northern Thailand as well as in northeastern Burma.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
