Default This Morning's TP Mediumwave Logs - Japan, China, S. Korea

594 JAPAN JOAK Tokyo NHK1, Oct 5 1332 - Heard with a possible newscast by
serious-sounding Japanese announcer. Good signal. (Atkins-WA)

747 JAPAN JOIB Hokkaido NHK2, Oct 5 1338 - English lessons hosted male and
female announcers in Japanese, with cheery phrases like "Your career is
going nowhere; you should get out of public relations." Good to very good
signal during peaks, and parallel to 693 JOAB Tokyo. (Atkins-WA)

693 JAPAN JOAB Tokyo NHK2, Oct 5 1335 - Good signal with male & female
Japanese announcers presenting English lessons, parallel 747 JOIB Hokkaido.
(Atkins-WA)

963 CHINA China Radio International, Oct 5 1345 - Fair signal of Chinese
music and male announcer in Russian. Presumed; CRI is usually the one with
Russian language on 963. (Atkins-WA)

972 SOUTH KOREA HLCA (KBS Liberty 1), Oct 5 1355 - Female and male announcer
in Korean at tune-in. Signal peaking nicely at top of hour with more talk,
short orchestral music piece, announcements (ID?) by female, and 3+1 time
pips at 1400. Into talk or news items by male announcer as signal quickly
faded. I was able to identify 972 as HLCA by paralleling it to 1134 kHz just
before 1400. A short MP3 recording of this catch can be heard at:
http://www.guyatkins.com/files/HLCA_972khz.mp3 It's a good example of how
trans-Pacific MW stations can fade in and out over a short length of time.
It's interesting that HLCA's location in Pyongtaek (Dangjin) is on the
midwestern coast of South Korea, separated from the Pacific by 100 miles of
land and a mountain range. Despite the transmitter's location and my own
inland QTH, the signal peaked quite well at 1400 (15 minutes before local
sunrise). (Atkins-WA)

1134 SOUTH KOREA KBS Liberty 1, Oct 5 1355 - Good to very good level, and
parallel 972 with Korean talk and orchestral music. (Atkins-WA)

1287 JAPAN JOHR Hokkaido HBC, Oct 5 1405 - Fair signal of male Japanese
announcer with what sounded like a newscast. (Atkins-WA)

1296 JAPAN JOTR Matsue NHK1, Oct 5 1413 - Tentative. Weak signal of what
sounded like an interview or panel discussion between two Japanese males.
The audio was pretty much wiped out after 1415, as local Seattle/Tacoma
stations went full power at sunrise. (Atkins-WA)
