Clandestine Stations / National Unification Broadcasting - National Unity Radio now on 7355 kHz.

« on: March 28, 2023, 1755 UTC »

- - - posted to WORiog today (March 28):
Hi group,

A station in Korean has an extended service on 7355 kHz since 26 March. I can hear in on various Japanese Kiwi SDRs
starting at 1200, it lasts until 1400 and beyond. Mostly easy talks and South Korean singers. Due to some family duties,
can't listen or record the sign-on at 1200 exact.

No such entry in the KBS A23 sked. Any hint? BBC Korean via PHT is only registered here after 1530 (HFCC data).

73,
Dmitry

Dmitry - Thanks very much for your informative posting. 7355 kHz. perhaps will be free from N. Korea jamming for a while now?

Please be aware of multi-stations on 17460 kHz., NOT just Denge Welat!! Ron

This info is from Wolfgang Bueschel:

"ARMENIA/UZBEKISTAN/TURKEY

on Sunday March 19 at 09.40 UT both programs on co-channel 17460 kHz
bad channel px mixture together.

17460even Denge Welat likely via Gavar Armenia instead,
and
17460.014 kHz TRT Osmanic music of Turkish national intelligence Organisation (MIT).

D.W. radio better AHEAD signal in Greece and India remotedly, S=9+10dB,

but TRT stronger S=9+20dB in KWT and Doha Qatar ME remotedly instead.

Hi Paul - Greetings from California!

AUSTRALIA. 5045, Bay Islands Radio. Since their recent return here, they have been having some amazingly
decent receptions for a low powered station; audio nicely above threshold level, so I was able to ID many of the
older songs that were playing non-stop.

March 15 - Another day with no IDs, PSAs, etc., so seems to not be a Island FM relay; 1139+ UT, with over an
hour of non-stop enjoyable listening to a wide variety of older songs; Animals - "Don't let me be Misunderstood,"
Emilie-Claire Barlow - "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," Hall and Oates - "Rich Girl," Dean Martin - "Memories
Are Made of This," Helen Reddy - "I Am Woman," Andrews Sisters - "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," Betty Everett &
Jerry Butler - "Let It Be Me," Nat King Cole - "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons," Seals and Crofts - "Diamond
Girl," Elvis Presley - "Little Sister," etc.

My audio at 1149, Frank Sinatra - "All the Way" -  https://app.box.com/s/bh5ltunwu6d6uwn0o0v6w9v2n7h0t2xz .

Clandestine Stations / Korea: Echo of Hope - VOH on a new, seventh frequency (7640 kHz.)

« on: March 07, 2023, 1806 UTC »

KOREA SOUTH: Echo of Hope - VOH, heard on 4885 // 6250 // 9100 kHz., at 0730 UT, March 5 (Sunday), continuing from
where they left off yesterday, with the weekend reading of a portion of Chapter 12 of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,"
along with lengthy explanations in Korean.

March 7 - Echo of Hope - VOH. Just as the Voice of the People recently added a new, seventh frequency (4560), now
VOH has also added a new, seventh frequency on 7640 kHz. to their list of active frequencies (3985 // 4885 // 5995
// 6250 // 6350 // 7640 // 9100 kHz.), as first noted by Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan), back on Feb 26. Today (March 7) was
the first day I have heard it, so I believe they have either been intermittently testing this frequency since Feb or it has been
on at different times than when I usually listened for it?

Today hear from tune in at 1533 UT till the end of the weekday only program at 1552; heard with the audio feed from a TV
program called "Wang cho bo yeong-eo" (translated into English - Beginner's English); with presenters "Mayu" and "Mini";
and ending with the usual intro and exit theme song - "Party Will Come Alive" by Wizardz Of Oz (with Ruben Martinez);
reception on the new frequency was very good. My audio is at https://app.box.com/s/hyndku2all69vj6395pi70i2k5oajp2v .
