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..

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

I heard Japan on 729 several times last season. Sometimes China was
there too, either mixing with Japan or by itself. 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.

Hello All,
The Asiatic conditions were generally good here this morning, with the
first reception of the season for 675-VOV (Vietnam), and a couple of
unusual
stations on 729 and 1053 kHz. The "big gun" Japanese and the Chinese
stations
were down a little in strength, but North Korea seemed stronger than
ever. Like Dennis, I noticed the unusually strong signal on 729 kHz and
made a
recording through the 730 Vancouver splatter, which had the typical
Pyongyang BS shouting Korean YL under the splatter (ink below).
Although that
station was heard here once before last October mixing with China,
it's
rare
for anything to show up on 729 kHz here, and when something does, it's
usually China. The Chinese stations generally did not manage much
audio
this
morning, and stayed in the carrier category except for 756-CNR1 and
1377. There
was another mystery station on 1053 kHz under the Jammer-- maybe the
same
one Dennis heard. An MP3 seemed to have shouted Korean (like on 729
kHz),
but nothing definite could be made out. In summary, it was a pretty
interesting morning!
