Carrier, into English female contemporary gospel vocal at 1858, abruptly
cut at 1859 with female canned "This is Adventist World Radio, the Voice
of Hope" and into another female gospel vocal until 1904 UT, then canned
program in an unidentified western African language with male, gospel
fills (Fulfulde listed in the 2007 WRTH at 1900 on 15140). Clear and good.

TAIWAN [Clandestine to No. Korea] 9630, North Korea Reform Radio,
apparently a new one. Test b/c was planned for 1200-1230 Dec 13 & 14.
9630 North Korea Reform Radio. Dear OM, Acc. to T. Yamashita (ABI) from e-
mail on this day. The regular broadcast, a start were delayed on Dec.
24[14th? wb.], at 1200-1230 UT on 9630 kHz via Taiwan.
Because an end part of RTI-Russian was transmitted just before VT test
broadcast of Dec. 14 by mistake, I estimate it to be the Taiwan
transmission. Sei-ichi Hasegawa, NDXC
