THE LISTENING POST

~ A new Chilean station (likely unlicensed –GLD) is Radio Compania Worldwide, based in the town of San Francisco. It used 6925 kHz from 2200 UTC and relayed Radio Bio Bio (620 on Medium Wave) in Concepcion. The shortwave outlet replayed the broadcast of Radio Bio Bio’s news of the political/social crisis currently occurring in Chile and likely was temporary and probably used very low power.

~ Radio Congo (Republic of) has been noted in California at 0540 UTC on 6115 kHz with programming already in progress; it was scheduled from 0500-0600 UTC. I don’t think anyone in the Midwest has ever reported that one to the Post. Why don’t you give it a shot?

~ Echo of Hope …_(EchoofHope) has a new shortwave schedule: 0100-0500 UTC on 4885, 6250, and 9100 kHz; 0500-0900 UTC on 3985, 5995, 6350 kHz; 0900-0100 UTC on 3985, 4885, 5995, 6250, 6350, and 9100 kHz all in Korean, although an “Easy English” feature is scheduled at some of those hours. (Echo of Hope is an opposition broadcaster transmitting from South Korea to the North. –GLD)

Eye Radio has resumed shortwave transmissions. The anti-South Sudan broadcast is transmitted via France and the Vatican at 1600-1700 and 0400-0500 UTC on 15410)
