I rechecked the VOA website and they still have a Korean program listed
on 648 during the morning local time 1900-2100 UT. That would be about
noon here, so we wouldn't be able to hear it.
The evening VOA Korean programs have been replaced by the 1350 and 1188.
I had forgotten about the morning broadcasts when I wrote the earlier
e-mail.

Bruce,
Thanks for the information on Russia 648 kHz. Did not know that
VOA stopped using this transmitter. I will continue to check this
channel
and when I'm at Grayland 12th & 13th of November. When VOA used this
channel the signal was a regular here.
Dennis,

What has happen to the Russian
station on 648? Have not heard it this season yet. Past seasons
was a regular vistor here. Have a nice weekend.

I haven't noticed it this season either.
The VOA stopped using this freq for its Korean service earlier this
year. It now uses a transmitter on 1350 on Mongolia, and the FEBC
transmitter in Seoul on 1188 for its broadcasts to North Korea.
That transmitter was also used for Voice of Russia broadcasts, and
I'm not sure what happened to them. There's one more thing for me to
investigate for the PAL log.
At Grayland earlier this month, we heard a lot of weak stuff, but I
spent less time there than I should have. I do recall Chuck thinking
he heard something with weak central Asian sounding music around
sunrise, but I don't think it ever came to more than that.
It might be worthwhile for a few peopleto check that freq on their
SDR or Perseus files from recent DXpeditions (hint hint).
