JAPAN According to "Research Site of Nazaki Transmitter Site", Meteorological FAX broadcast JMH (3622.5 7795 13988.5kHz 5kW F3C) by Japan Meteorological Agency will switch both their facility and transmitter site at 0421 on March 4, from Nazaki Transmitter Site (36.10N 139.51E ) to Kagoshima Fishery Transmitting Station(31.19N 130.31E).
Tokyo Volmet (2863 6679 8828 13882kHz) will also change the transmitter site at 0440 on March 4, from Nazaki to Kagoshima.
There will be no transmission from Nazaki Transmitter Site hereafter. Nazaki Transmitter Site, located in Koga City, Ibaragi prefecture, was built in 1934 for overseas shortwave broadcasting. On August 15, 1945, "Edict of Ending the War" by Emperor Hirohito was transmitted over this site. The site was used for overseas broadcasting until 1970. After that the site has been used for standard time signal (JJY/JG2AS), FAX news and meteorological broadcasts, and Volmet broadcast. Yamata transmitter site, now used for overseas broadcasting, is neighboring this site. Takahito Akabayashi Japan
