JAPAN Google Earth Imagery. Well the good nx is that I finally have a
reply re my Radio Nikkei enquiries & now have the co-ordinates of the
sites. The bad nx is that the previously speculated sites are incorrect &
that the actual sites are low resolution sites on Google Earth.
I'm also assuming that the Chiba site I QSLed around 1982/83 is actually
the Nagara site, unless it changed in the period since?? Anyway here's the
info thanks to Keigo Kumuro of Japan.
Japan's Radio Tampa, now Radio Nikkei (from 2004) has two transmitting
stations as follows.
1. Nagara transmitting station at
35.22'55" N 140.12' 22" E and
2. Nemuro transmitting station at
43.17'49" N 145.33'49" E
Frequencies (in kHz) are:
a) Program 1: 3925 (JOZ and JOZ4), 6055 (JOZ2) and 9595 (JOZ3), and
b) Program 2: 3945 (JOZ5), 6115 (JOZ6) and 9760 (JOZ7).
