Hi Bruce and Guy, Thanks for your additional information on this morning's 1575 kHz techno music mystery.
In March of 2010 there was music of this exact same type received here on 1575 kHz mixing with VOA Thailand, and I had no idea what it was. After listening to the related MP3 last year Walt said that it was almost certainly the low-powered AFN network in Japan (very common in Masset, at good levels), although I never received an ID for it. The puzzle this morning was that the techno (a.k.a. disco) music was all alone on the frequency, unlike last year, when it was always mixing with VOA. Whenever this 1575 kHz (presumed AFN) music would show up here previously, it was never stronger than VOA, and only rarely at equal level. 73, Gary March 22, 2010 1575 KHz MP3 (VOA and presumed AFN Japan) http://www.mediafire.com/?nzmyizfvdyo -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Portzer <[email protected]> To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Oct 3, 2011 11:31 am Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP's for Monday 10/03/11 Gary and Dennis VOA broadcasts in Khmer 1330-1430, which could explain the lack of a TOH ID. I briefly listened to today's Podcast for that particular program, as posted on the VOA website. It was mainly taking and interviews, with no techno music. So if you heard VOA, there's a bit of a mismatch between what went out over the air and what's posted on the VOA website. Or as Guy suggested, it might have been an AFN Station.

This recording was made just before the TOH, when no ID was heard here, either: http://www.mediafire.com/?pe52gpspmgx9gie The only logical explanation would seem to be that VOA in Thailand has somehow changed its format, since there is no other TP on the frequency that could have been so strong (with no competition). 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) Tecsun PL-380 + 8" Medium Wave FSL -----Original Message----- From: Dennis Vroom <[email protected]> To: irca <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Oct 3, 2011 7:20 am Subject: [IRCA] TP's for Monday 10/03/11 Couple of second tier Japanese stations heard this morning.
