Post by: Ct Yankee on January 15, 2024, 1237 UTC

From Reuters, don't know if this is both KCBS Pyongyang and Voice of Korea:

As of 1/31/24 I still get VOK daily on 9435 and 11710. FWIW.

Anyway, this is a more detailed article. Thanks for bringing the story to our attention, as it prompted me to seek this one out.

I'm not sure what is accurate or not. I continue to hear KCBS Pyongyang on 11680khz via multiple SDRs, and some VOK frequencies as well. I'm assuming what is off air is their stations aimed directly at the R.O.K?

I think that's it, just the reunification ones in accordance with the new NK policy that reunification is no longer the goal...which by the way all the "experts" consider scary and menacing, but I think it's a positive step.
