All the credit and congratulations to Sung Chul Cho of the Republic of Korea for investigating and solving this 6715U mystery. As I was in close e-mail contact with Cho these days sharing some thoughts, may I put the findings in brief for those who might not be familiar with the "6715U unid".
- In February 2002, David Hodgson, TN, USA, first logged unid religious station on 6715U. - Soon it was found out that the language was Korean and the programs were aired on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays during UT evenings. - As heard only in Europe and USA suggested the station was somewhere in Europe or Africa. - The broadcast schedule switched to DST in the end of March. - Direction finding in Europe shows 224/044 degrees (WB). - David sent a recording of the program to Sung Chul Cho. - Cho finds out the program was related to Full Gospel Church of Korea. - Cho finds out from the tape they mention "Full Gospel Las Palmas Church" - Cho finds a letter from FG Las Palmas Church to Yoido (FG Church in Korea) in Koream at the Yoido web site, mentioning they relay the church service via SSB for Korean fishermen. - An FG churchmember in Las Palmas confirms after listening to an audiofile of 6715 that the program is theirs (Cho). - And finally, I myself just got an e-mail from the church itself (to my report and mp3 file) confirming this all (see below). Well, the transmitter might be located at Las Palmas, Canary Islands. Speculating - the programs may be relayed from the church via t.ex. VHF radio to a fishing vessel and re-transmitted from there. Ahh, forget it.
