FM Free Radio / Re: Question on pirate radio
« on: July 31, 2016, 0133 UTC »
Have heard The Big Q and W807 on 1710. Unknown if they're still around. I've only caught them on occasion. Once I heard Undercover Radio on 1710, but he didn't broadcast often down there. Think he tried 1720 once (or not. Its been a while).

I try to check 1710 often (after dark) to see what's pops up, but usually just get a weak carrier and splatter from 1700.

On 530, we have a TIS in the area and some nights can get Canada or even Cuba.

Dad worked as an electrician when he was young.

 He got the nickname "Pedro" out there, or "Pee-dro" as everyone back here pronounced it.

Signal is ok and good enough to listen, with deep fades to near the noise level at time.

Spy Numbers / Re: N Korea numbers broadcast

A retired US National Security Agency source said the fact it was a 10-11 meter frequency band in the middle of the night, considering that North Korea does not have relay stations like many other shortwave stations, would make the target local to South Korea, Japan or northern China.

The station is using old Soviet transmitters that give it a distinctive humming sound when broadcasting, said Keith Perron, an expert on spy number stations who runs the international shortwave and FM station, PCJ Radio, which broadcasts news, entertainment and serves as a relay for other content.

The hum is created due to the poor quality of transmitters and the fact that North Korea does not use microwaves to relay the message to the antennas but rather old telephone wires.

General Radio Discussion / Re: North broadcasts coded message
« on: July 18, 2016, 2335 UTC »
12:45 am. Which timezone, Korean Std Time in South Korea? Which puts it at 1545 UTC.

It was not in the VoK broadcast on 15 July 2016 from 1330-1430 UTC (2230 KST) on 15245 kHz.

From 1530 to 1630 UTC, they're scheduled to broadcast in English, Russian, and Arabic. Presumably to NAm, Europe and the Middle East. (Assuming they also didn't change towers/power/etc).

I agree with MDK2 about giving a frequency, but then the editor probably would've thought that would confuse the reader.

Glenn Hauser recently mentioned that the broadcasts after 1830 UTC are replays from earlier in the day.

This morning (16 July 2016) 1230-1330 UTC on 15450 and they did have news of the coup.
