(New) Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide, etc.  View Printable Version 
Tuesday, January 29 2019

IRCA
Just a note that my Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide has moved to:

http://chriskadlec.com (see the Radio menu)

I have added numerous full-length propaganda clips (AM FM SW) that I hadn't featured before, as well as photos and more. My old page was merely a temporary home for two years in lieu of this new page that had been planned for that pretty much that long.

In addition to that, I have built new pages featuring all KBS local addresses for those QSL seekers and a new/improved page for Chinese ID vocabulary (i.e. guangbo, dianshi zong tai, zhi sheng, etc.) with full English and pinyin translations for each clip. Both were previously PDFs. I also have a plan to add a similar page for MBC local addresses and update my list of Asian station streams.

For those who have interests beyond MW, you can also find all my FM content, including my full Chinese tropo and E-skip log with 3 hours of audio, and my new 6-hour 500 top-of-hour ID project for my 530 FM regulars here in Michigan. And other stuff too.

Hope some of you will check it out and let me know if there are other such resources that I may have access to that anyone would be interested in.

Thanks to all who have chimed in with their thoughts, very interested ideas
have been put forth.
I will keep reading and do some price comparisons.

Good to see that we've opened the flood gates on this topic, James.

Rodent bites have never been an issue at my coastal location in western
Canada, and I forget that it can be a big issue elsewhere.

OT: It's not like we don't have rodents, but perhaps they're all
fat and happy from the continual feeding they get here from little old
ladies of all ages and as many genders as floats your boat....they think
they're feeding just the fluffy squirrels and the cute little chickadees.

The day I saw, in broad daylight, six large rats working a bird feeder a few
doors down made sure that I was never going to feed the wildlife, no matter
how senile I became. On the other hand, no rodent bites on the coax....

best wishes,

Nick
