[HCDX] Radio Free North Korea
Free North Korea Radio is giving voice to a growing opposition to the dictatorship, writes David McNeill in Seoul BEGGARS HAVE returned to the streets of Pyongyang, income disparities are growing thanks to a botched currency reform, and simmering anger at the government threatens to boil over. Ordinary North Koreans are increasingly waking from their long nightmare and blinking in the light of a once unthinkable scenario: life without ailing leader Kim Jong-il or his family of hereditary parasites. “He is a hypocrite who only cares about himself,” one told Free North Korea Radio (FNKR). “We would be better off without him.” Despite being vacuum-packed by the Kim dictatorship and sealed off behind a once-solid technological firewall, North Korea is increasingly leaking bad news – and much of it is coming from this Seoul-based broadcaster. Run by defector Kim Seong-Min, the small shortwave station has an apparently simple mission: to bring democracy to one of the world’s most paranoid, secretive nations. “But first we must have a free media there,” says Kim. “That’s what we’re working on.” Carrying out that mission is dangerous, and sometimes deadly. Kim (48) is protected round the clock by two armed police bodyguards. In 2007 many of the station’s original team of stringers were caught and tried as spies, then sent to labour camps – or perhaps executed. “We don’t know what happened to them exactly,” he says, adding that the detections “devastated” him. “The stress of knowing that could happen again is very hard to bear. Honestly, I often just want to quit.” Building up a new network of stringers took time. Today, 10 freelance journalists provide reports from behind the bamboo curtain on a retainer of about $100 (€73) a month. They include a university professor, a teacher, at least two soldiers and a North Korean security agent. FNKR provides them with small digital recorders, which are used to record interviews, and mobile phones with signals that work across the Chinese border – Pyongyang’s fledgling mobile- phone system was bought from Egypt and is incompatible with the South Korean network. The recordings are smuggled across the Chinese border and transported back to Seoul via a network of spies. The results detonate on air during Voices of the People , where the raw views of the North’s citizens – electronically distorted – are broadcast back into their own country. Brainwashed automatons in so much reporting, the people heard here emerge as thrillingly human, alive and angry. Kim Jong-il’s wealth comes from “the sweat and blood of the people”, says one. Another vows to protest government policies. A defector interviewed by the station once vowed to shoot the Dear Leader. But the station’s director insists that his purpose is not to incite violence. “The world would be a better place without Kim Jong-il, of course,” says Kim. “But the most important thing is not him, it’s the people he rules.” Like many observers, Kim believes the looming transition of power from the North’s leader, who appears to have suffered a stroke, to his son and suspected heir, Kim Jong-un, will be the regime’s biggest test in a generation. “The level of consciousness of the people will be crucial,” he says. “When power moved from Kim Song-il [father of the nation] to Kim Jong-il, it was considered a natural development. But people know far more about the outside world now and they’re more sceptical of the leadership, so anything could happen.” The possibility of real change electrifies defectors in the South. Pyongyang’s devaluation of its nearly worthless currency in December was a “turning point”, says Seo Jae-pyong, another defector who runs a South Korean news service also based on mobile-phone dispatches from inside the North. The devaluation, apparently aimed at reining in the nation’s growing middle class, wiped out the meagre savings of impoverished citizens, reportedly sparked riots and even forced the leadership into making a rare apology. “That was a sign that social unrest is very deep,” Seo told the Korea Times last week. FNKR claims it helped break that story and was the first media outlet to smuggle the new currency notes out of the country, via its network of China spies, and show them to the world. But every challenge to the regime risks retaliation; another of its freelance reporters was subsequently almost caught, says Kim. “We got word just before she was to be arrested. She fled abroad and is now in Vietnam.” That story calls to mind Kim’s own remarkable escape from his country of birth. The son of a poet, he worked for years as a propaganda officer for the North Korean army before being brought down by accusations of spying – one of his letters to an uncle living abroad was intercepted. Tortured then sentenced to death, Kim jumped from a moving train taking him to his execution in 1997. Two years later he joined the 20,000 or so
[HCDX] Radio Rossii broadcasting reductions on SW
It is not Radio Sweden, but nevertheless lamentably... It seems some of Radio Rossii SW transmitters will leave the air for good starting tomorrow due to stress of money. I do not have all info yet but among these for a long time usable ones will be: 5930 Murmansk (0100-2100 UTC during the summer seasons), 6085 Krasnoyarsk (2100-1700), 6160 Arkhangelsk (0100-2100), 6195 Ulan Ude (2100-0100), etc. I am listening now Radio Rossii on 5930 kHz and cannot still believe that March 27, 2010 will be the last day of SW relays from Murmansk... 73!

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs March 26-27, 2010
** CHINA. Firedrake March 27: did not search thoroly, but at 1453 encountered on 10400, fair signal, and much better than JBA 8400; none audible in the 9300-9400 area or on the `970s (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CUBA. DentroCuban Jamming Command doing its thing, same pulsing against nothing, March 27 at 0620: on 9955 with WRMI inaudible, 9885 vs absent VOA, and 9810 vs absent Radio República. And more of it on 9565 vs absent Martí, plus spurs around 9545 and 9585. Strange things are happening with RHC scheduling, making me wonder if they are confused about the DST shift a biweek ago, or have decided to go with the flow rather than keep to UT? March 27 at 1400 I find 11760 missing, but still on 11730 and 11800. The 11760 transmitter could be the one with open carrier on 11680 about to open relay of Venezuela, q.v., an hour earlier than had been scheduled. At 1415 noticed that frequencies supposed to be on until 1500 were missing: 15360, 15120, 13780, 13680; at 1423 heard only on 13770 above 12 MHz. But at 1448, 11760 was back on while RNV was still on 11680. No RHC frequency announcement heard around 1500 as there used to be (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** CYPRUS [and non]. OTH radar pulsing, presumed from here, March 27 at 1421 on 17847-17872 atop some broadcaster on 17850, i.e. BBC Somali via CYPRUS, oops! Still going at 1503, and now the victim is on 17860, i.e. Channel Africa, SOUTH AFRICA in Swahili. Same sound of OTH radar on 17465-17490, March 27 at 1504 atop Brother Scare via GERMANY on 17485. And then mixing with the huge wideband whining sound centered on 17450 which just cut on at *1505 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** EQUATORIAL GUINEA. 15190, looking for rumored reactivation of R. Inconfidência, Belo Horizonte, Brasil on 15190, still nothing – but R. Africa, March 26 at 1958 with American preachess wishing ``Happy Thanksgiving`` to listeners and remarking that she is speaking on Black Friday, why call it that? She apparently has no economic background. (So I can be sure she is American, not Canadian, since there is no such thing as a Black Friday there, unless it`s Black Day-after-Columbus-Day?), and further remarx about orphans in Malawi. So sermons are delayed about four months in the surface mail to Bata. BTW, does the general African audience have any idea what the American Thanksgiving holiday is about, let alone Black Friday, which could easily be misconstrued as an insult? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDIA. 13645, AIR IS at 1513 March 27, fair with flutter, 1515 opening in listed Gujurati via Bengaluru. Don`t you believe last week`s DX program from Bulgaria which claimed that V. of Southern Azerbaijan had returned to this frequency at 1600. That was lifted from previous DXLD discussion of an unID which turned out to be AIR, and everything about VOSA was historical! Not really heard since 1998 on this frequency nor since 2003 on 9375. March BDXC-UK Communication also misinterpreted that VOSA info was current. 13605, also with AIR IS at 1514 March 27, but not in synch with 13645, as 13605 is about to start Swahili via Bangalore, and not in // when both started talking at 1515. At 1517 found 15175 with extremely distorted South Asian music, modulation cutting on and off while S9+15 carrier stayed on with flutter, and it`s // 13645 which has identical modulation cuts, also during talk at 1519, then back to music. But 15175 is via Panaji, GOA site (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** KOREA NORTH. 9335, VOK, March 27 at 1344, distorted modulation and flutter, opening ``Songs of Korear, Land of the Morning Calm``, sounds like electric organ (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** LAOS [non]. 11785, tuned in WHRI just in time at 1329 Saturday March 27 to confirm that Hmong World Christian Radio has shifted another hour earlier to 1300; bit of Hmong talk and 1330 into Call to Worship, off after 1400 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR. 6135, another check for RTM, March 27 at 1409: something`s there with talk rather than music, but too weak vs high noise level. My logs do correlate with David Sharp`s, who was getting this a week earlier at 1350 on 7105.008 // 6134.954, from New South Wales, right along the long-path to me (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MADAGASCAR [non]. One last A-10 check for R. Mada International, clandestine via PRIDNESTROVYE, which has been running Sat Sun 1530-1600 on 15660: March 27 at 1555 just continuous tone-test on frequency, so lost feed? From March 28 I imagine Mada will show on a different frequency in the area if it still exist (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** MOROCCO. 15345, unlike 15341 the day before, RTM on the `proper` frequency, March 26 at 2001 with hum and whine and Arabic, RAE inaudible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** NEW ZEALAND. 6170, RNZI, March 27 at 1411 with heavy QRM
