Japan log till end of November
« on: November 30, 2018, 1406 UTC »
It's a crazy season. I have some 200-300 North Americans on recordings and backlog is huge. Also noted 1098 Marshall Islands, first by Jordan Heyburn, who is using his Perseus at our qth in South Finland.

Here is a taste what a 650 metres long beverage can do. I have been collecting NHK stations like no tomorrow and many of them even reply to reports though they say that they don't verify.

Stations I love to hate: Hokkaido repeaters that never announce call id.

The fcc rid in ww2 would have killed for that coverage of NHK. the best they got till they got closer to mainland Japan was a bev installed in the crater of a temporarily inactive volcano on Hawaii.
Some high US government muckity mucks wanted to know what the Japanese government was saying to their own people.

You're confusing the the Radio Intelligence Division (RID) with the Foreign Broadcast Monitoring Service (FBMS) later known as the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS).
See page 260 of Battle Of Wits: The Complete Story of Codebreaking in World War II by Stephen Budiansky as an example of RID's amateurish performance in Hawaii.
