JAPAN: Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, via Yamata, Japan,
==========================================
which currently is on 6085 kHz., from 1300 to 1400 UT, will shortly be
broadcasting their annual special mini-concert program. The concert will
take place in Tokyo, on December 15. The mini-concert will be broadcast
via Shiokaze and will often be rebroadcast throughout December and
January. It is always timed to coordinate with âNorth Korean Human
Rights Abuses Awareness Week" and the international symposium held by
the government of Japan. We can expect a disruption of their schedule of
languages, so perhaps Thursdays will not be in English?
