Re: [IRCA] 1566 HLAZ now with VOA
HLAZ has never done a great job with their website and schedule updates, though it seems to be top-notch since FEBC redid their websites rather recently. I still haven't listened to the stream due to being asleep whenever I should remember it, but the website was never updated accordingly. I wonder if this is just a temporary schedule change with the Olympics and diplomacy and whatnot - sort of throwing shade at the north for all that is happening now, though given FEBC in Incheon, which has always run both RFA and VOA, though for almost the entire night, the change really is no surprise. I guess we'll wait and see. My check of all radio news and local and world news in English and Korean yesterday yielded absolutely zero results. As for jammers, Pyongyang has always been on 1566 and that sound should break through easily if you're getting any piece of it. It's parallel the massive jammer on 1467 in Haeju. You can find numerous clips of both jammers, which I lived close to, on my website and floating around wherever I've been (any links posted to here in the past are long-since broken I'm sure). But interestingly, 1188, though about 20 miles from the border with VOA and RFA, has never been jammed that I was aware of. I could hear the 972 jammer from atop the downtown skyscrapers in Seoul; if 1188 was jammed, I'd have heard it. So with all the inconsistencies, who knows what's going on or their intent. I'm basically out of the DX scene now, so aside from helping out out of boredom, I'll leave investigation up to those who can hear it. -Chris Kadlec Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 15:52:11 -0500 From: Bill Whitacre Subject: Re: [IRCA] 1566 HLAZ now with VOA I can confirm that RFA and VOA are now being relayed on 1566kHz via HLAZ, Jeju, South Korea.

Re: [IRCA] 1566 HLAZ now with VOA
Was I imagining that I heard the sound of some kind of throbbing jammer on 1566 this morning at 1500 UTC? I’ve never heard HLAZ being jammed - but there have been reports of it.

Re: [IRCA] 1566 HLAZ now with VOA
Walt, 1566 plays Echo of the Gospel in the 2am local hour (assuming your given time of 17:50 would be UTC). The program is produced by 106.9 //1188 Incheon and usually airs in the 4am hour on that station. 1188 runs VOA in the overnight hours, but not at that specific time. If something got mixed up with 1188, that could send VOA to 1566, though I doubt that. Both stations run English programming sometimes, and some of the Korean programs are bilingual as well. Perhaps you stumbled upon it right at the right time. I've noted that many times, at least until Pyongyang upped its power and made FEBC a real pain in the rear end to listen to. But the online schedule shows no VOA. The best you could do would be to listen to the 1566 stream of the program when it comes on and see if you hear English. I always say I want to listen to a program stream, but I get sidetracked by shiny things and forget. -Chris Kadlec Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 18:05:12 + From: Volodya S Subject: [IRCA] 1566 HLAZ now with VOA I happened to be listening to HLAZ via a Korean Perseus remote SDR and noted VOA Korean (?

Re: [IRCA] 1566 HLAZ now with VOA
Absolutely, Paul. They are regular into Masset during the Fall until Spring period up to noon local time. Every day, except when there's a big geomagnetic storm. Then, I might expect Australia or India on that channel! 73,...Walt On Tue, Feb 13, 2018 at 6:11 PM, Paul B.
