FM Free Radio / 87.9 MHz UNID May 8, 2013 1253z Minneapolis, MN
« on: May 08, 2013, 1425 UTC »
In Minneapolis, heard a rap station on 87.9 MHz from 1235Z until it went abruptly off at 1239Z. Freq is usually quiet.
Figure its a pirate as the lyrics in the song would result in a fine if on a legal station.

Voice of Korea (DPRK) on 11710 kHz this morning at 1235Z. SINPO = 45333. Pretty decent signal and would've been better if the ignition noise wasn't interfering.
Also picking them up on 11735 kHz. 25332. Nothing heard on 15180 nor 13650.
