Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

Listen to the clip carefully.  There seems to me to be several AFN stations
audible, all slightly out of sync.  PAL lists 3 in Korea.  My suspicion is
that we're hearing all 3.  In Masset, I have very occasionally heard
similar, slightly out of sync transmitters on 1575, when programming is in
//.  Other times, they play different feeds.  I'll definitely spend more
time on 1440 when I'm in Masset next time.  73,....Walt
