KOREA SOUTH. 5920, Voice of Freedom (Jayu-e soli Bangsong). Free from any N. Korea jamming on Feb 2 (ex: 6045
heard with super white noise jamming and also rapid pulsating noise jamming, but no VOF there!). The VOF open carrier
heard at 0720 UT tune-in, long before the start of their Korean programming.
Thanks very much to Amano and pasar malam, both in Japan, for providing the informative 2024 updated VOF info. Certainly
a lot of work went into updating the info! (
