Title: Nippon no Kaze ... 9685 AM at 1550 UTC 6 July 2020

Just scanning the band, I found a very good signal from this station this morning on 9685 kHz. SINPO 35333, with some fading at times. I only heard instrumental music for the last part of the broadcast before signoff at 1559 UTC.

I assume this clandestine toward North Korea is still broadcast from Taiwan, but not sure that's certain.

Very nice catch.  Yes, presumed from Tanshui (aka Danshui aka Tamsui) Taiwan.

Had to be up "early" (7 a.m. Pacific time) for work today and caught the Japanese language version of this broadcaster, Furusato no Kaze, // on 9560 and 9450 kHz at 1452-1458 UTC.

While 9450 was poor with a barely audible signal, 9560 was fair to good at the peaks with some fading. Woman talking over music, with a website address given in Japanese at 1457 UTC just before sudden signoff.

Nice catch!  I emailed a report to them in fall of 2018 and they mailed me a nice QSL and some station info.  It took about two months to receive in the mail but they replied to my email reception report in a few hours saying they'd be mailing me my QSL.
