Your song on 603 Hwaseong is actually an *old* type of Korean rap music. It's by Leessang from back in 2009. Korea was a whole different scene and different culture way back then. It actually came out the very month I moved to Korea. A curiosity though: do you guys only get these signals in a sh

Yes, probably a bit of a fallback, with some DUs showing up, but not spectacularly. There were a fair number of second, even third tier Japanese turning up briefly, but mostly not there at all. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK

Thanks to Colin, Nick and Bruce for their earlier reports. A predawn band check at 1240 showed fairly decent conditions here, so to avoid local electrical noise a single 15" FSL antenna and hot-rodded Ultralight was once again taken 5 blocks away to a local park. The band was fairly subdued

Conditions this morning were a bit below average.  The only good audio was from the high powered Japanese on 594 693 747 774 and 828, and the Korean on 972.   I also heard the 738 Korea/Taiwan battle Gary mentioned, and HLAZ grudgingly throw some audio at me from time to time.  Beyond that, the

Just don't get caught listening to KCBS 657 Pyongyang while in a park - you may get locked up for odd behaviour. :-) My 738 khz is the diciest channel on the dial for me -- endless splash from 730-Vancouver B.C. never lets up. Tahiti used to poke through occasionally - but 730 was nullable because

Colin and Nick, The big news here (well, 5 blocks from here, at a local park) was a major snarl between 738-HLKG and BEL2 shortly after 1400, with both of them pushing S9 at times. After the KCBS fadeout at 1355 the 738 frequency was a total zoo. Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) 7.5" CC Skywa

I had around 5 minutes between 1400 and 1405 where signals tumbled and noise increased— it seemed to indicate some Return to normality for the radio dial. Good weather this weekend may trigger the installation of a NE FLAG! Colin Newell - Victoria - B.C. CANADA - > On Oct 10, 2018, at 8:48 AM,

Craig, Great job on overcoming the PL-380 issue to track down a decent list of TP-DX on your second day! In consideration of the modest propagation and your "on the beach" repair job, I'm sure that your Tofino DXing results were about as good as anyone could accomplish. Next month in Hawaii I'
