Hello All, For anyone with superior Asian language identification skills (Korean or Japanese) able to listen to the entire 729 kHz MP3 from the TP-DXing session this morning (2.48 MB, just over 2 minutes), it has been uploaded to _http://www.mediafire.com/?d0k54axtour55v5_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?d0k54axtour55v5) . The recording was made through 730-CHMJ splatter using a modified Ultralight radio, and is not exactly high fidelity. The language of the female speaker (under the splatter) is either Korean or Japanese, and informed opinions would be appreciated.. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 9/12/2010 10:57:12 P.M.

Hi Bruce, Thanks for listening to the 729 kHz MP3. The lady is speaking so quickly that it's tough to be 100% sure of the language, and even though my first inclination was Korean, there was no Pyongyang BS parallel to check at the time. You could be right about possible Japanese. The 729 kHz clip was only a short portion of the 2-minute MP3, and I'll review it again for more clues, and send you the whole clip if you like. Last October I had China dominant and a presumed NK on this frequency during a rare 729 kHz strong signal, and even though I've seen many reports of Japan on 729, it's never been heard here. In any case, it's kind of a moral victory for me to get either station here in Puyallup on Ultralights, with the CHMJ splatter blanketing the frequency 99% of the time here :-) I'll be happy either way! 73, Gary In a message dated 9/12/2010 8:00:00 P.M.

They were somewhat regular catches for me, despite the splash from CHMJ. It's hard to tell for sure, but your short clip sounds like it could be Japanese rather than Korean. She's almost a bit too melodic to be from North Korea.
