9485 - UNID Clandestine? "RFC".
9485, unidentifiied station (clandestine?) at 1330-1359*. Thanks to a tip
>from John Wilkins, I tuned in at 1316, on April 3, to hear Shiokaze Two,
via Taiwan (BTW - on days that they are in English, I have heard this
"Two" in the ID), with OM reading list of abductees names (believe in
Korean), with piano background music, 1327 sign-off announcement and piano
IS till 1330, which is their usual programming format. It clearly seemed
to be the end of their program. Immediately after the IS, there seems to
be the start of another clandestine program; that is I assume it's
clandestine and also directed to Korea (DPR). Begins with orchestra music
and then about 15 minutes of talking (seems to also be in Korean).
Mentioned Kim Il Sung several times.
1345-55 presents a radio drama, off at 1359 UT. Unable to make an ID. The
format is totally different than Shiokaze. Reception was good, with no
sign of any jamming of Shiokaze or the unidentified clandestine. Someone
with better language skills is needed to ID this.

9485 - UNID Clandestine? "RFC".
I checked 9485 kHz on 4 Apr 2007. After the Sea Breeze English closing
announcement 1329 and piano music, at 1330 piece of orchestra music. Then
female announcer in Korean with several ID's. I got those familiar words
"Bangsong" and "Bangsong-imnida" but the preceding words aren't clear to
me. They sound like "Hai Chu Sen" or "Hai Chosum".
After a piano music bridge, male talks, also giving ID. The last 15 or so
minutes sounded like radio-drama which used the "X-Files theme" as a music
bridge. Off at 1359. I tried to open audio files from RFC website and also
from
for comparison of the ID, but no luck. Maybe
someone could tell how the ID goes word by word.

Ha Tae-Kyoung, President of Open Radio for North Korea, told me that
shortwave radios are growing in popularity in North Korea and more people
are acquiring them through China for about US $5.00. Ha went on to point
out that if more North Koreans owned shortwave radios, ORNK would be able
to reach a larger audience and have a greater impact on North Korean human
rights.
Ha stated that possessing a shortwave radio is against the law in North
Korea; however, those caught with them usually do not serve time in
prison. Before the 1980s, a North Korean caught with a radio capable of
listening to outside broadcasts could be sentenced to death. However,
corruption in North Korea is too widespread for even Kim Jong-il to
control. Corruption is a way of life in North Korea.
Consequently, the security agents only confiscate the radios as
punishment. The agents then turn around and sell them in the black market
for their own personal profit. They do not record finding the radio
because if they were to report its existence, they would not be able to
sell them for their $5.00 value, which is nice boost in income when
