9525 VOI language schedule change: Korean hour at 1300+ June 12, and
wondering what had happened; formerly in Indonesian when on. Tuned in 9525
at 1301 to hear gamelan and ID in English, but then Korean ID and talk,
still Korean at 1333 check. At 1400 clashing with CRI in Russian, but VOI
was on top with Japanese ID, website; the rest of the hour may have been
in Indonesian.

June 14 at 1815 was checking 4750 for possible signals of UGA/SDN and
noted a station with phone-ins. As the format didn't well fit with the
programming of those two religious stations I earlier had heard on the
frequency, I kept on listening. The language appeared to be Bahasa
Indonesia and at 1859 the familiar Jakarta interval-signal was played
prior the news. So, RRI Makassar on the air at this strange time for some
reason.

JAPAN/KOREA D.P.R. Open Radio for North Korea(ORNK) will change their
schedule from June 11th Open Radio for North Korea (ORNK) will change
their schedule from June 11th. The New schedule is 1100-1200 UT 9930 kHz
and the transmitting station is KWHR in Hawaii which is in partnership
with VT Communications.
ORNK will broadcast on weekdays for a while after the schedule is changed.
But they plan to broadcast on weekend when they gain the time and the
frequency. They will increase the airtime from a hour to two hours as well
and it becomes effective as early as July. This change is interpreted as a
urgent action to avoid the jamming on 7390 kHz. 1100-1200 UT 9930 kHz will
service an English program of KWHR and we predict that the reception is
good in North Korea as Seoul.
