Voice of the People, SOUTH KOREA – 4450 kHz and 3480 kHz

On the 28th December 2021, I tuned in to the Voice of the People broadcasting in the Korean language on 4450 kHz. Unfortunately, just after tuning in, a jamming signal (siren) started up on the frequency. It was so loud it totally blocked out the signal from the Voice of the People.

So I then moved to 3480 kHz where the Voice of the People was broadcasting and I noted that there was only minor interference – a siren type noise on the frequency. Unfortunately, loud static crashes on the band from local storms in Australia, made listening quite difficult.

SINPO
35243

Below is a video showing my reception of the Voice of the People on both of the frequencies.
