Korea: March 23-24, 2023
« on: March 25, 2023, 0631 UTC »

KOREA SOUTH: Echo of Hope - VOH. Thanks to the timely alert from Hiroyuki Komatsubara (Japan), I was able to
hear the new VOH frequency of 7720 kHz. (ex: 9100), on both March 23 & 24.

https://app.box.com/s/fw9sl8utq1mp5w5u86zx0d37pah49pcn contains my recording made March 24, at 1150 UT; the
closing segment of the "Wang cho bo yeong-eo" (translated into English - Beginner's English) TV program; the show
started at 1124 (and closes) with their theme song - "Party Will Come Alive" by Wizardz Of Oz (with Ruben Martinez);
same program broadcast both days; also // to the usual 3985 // 4885 // 5995 // 6250 // 6350. Are they back to six
frequencies now or is there a seventh frequency someplace? Also heard this same program on March 23, at 1524 till
1553 UT; confirming their four hour program loop.

Voice of the People, 3910 kHz., start of a program at 1417 UT, March 23; heard after the news ("bodo"); also // 3480
// 3930 // 4450 // 4560 // 6520 // 6600 kHz. My audio - https://app.box.com/s/vbaumduw3ao17hui610ah5tkqov64089 .

Thanks very much to Amano (Japan) for the correction for my March 24 recording at 1115 UT.

The program actually was "Dodbogilo boneun sesang" (The world through a magnifying glasses).
I always greatly appreciate his feedback and guidance!
