UNID 15180kHz 1720UTC May 22

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

UNID HELP!  1720UTC in Alaska, had one guy talking with another guy I think, one guy is doing most of the talking on 15180khz.  I initially thought this was an African continent language but I later heard a mention of the taliban and Quran so this is Arabic I think.  I may have heard this a few days ago. No one is listed on Eibi as being on 15180 at this time

Any idea who this is?

Hi Paul,

I was was thinking about your catch all day and pieced this together.  If it is a harmonic of 7590, that frequency is in use by North Korea Reform Radio from Tashkent, Uzbekistan with their Korean service at an azimuth of 76 degrees - seems favorable to Alaska.  Uzbekistan is primarily a Muslim country and since this is a broadcast into North Korea, it could be a spiritual transmission for a people under the control of a dictator.

However, the enclosed schedule for them http://www.nkreform.com/en/schedule/ , which lists broadcast times in local North Korea local time might not match if this is a current schedule but close. (North Korea UTC +9)

By the way, this past week took the Mrs. to the Colchester Fabric Mill for her birthday, nice place.  Forget about your Harry's suggestion, maybe next time - ate breakfast at Eggs Up in Portland.  Got an Alaskan inland tour you'd suggest for autumn?  Anniversary #40 is this fall, I was thinking this as one of several spots.

It could be a harmonic. when i can get audio off my recorder, a native speaker will easily understand it.

Harrys is getting a bit expensive, but still worth it.. to say youve been.

as for what to see in alaska.. ill ask around and get back to you on that
