Shortwave DXing: North Korea radio spotted in Malaysia!



It is common to receive shortwave radio stations from China, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and Indonesia in Malaysia via shortwave radio, but it is a very strange to receive North Korea radio stations in Malaysia.

North Korea propaganda radio station for foreign countries, known as Voice of Korea, broadcasts in English, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, French, Spanish and Arabic. For South East Asia, Voice of Korea broadcasts in Chinese, English and French on SW 13650kHz.

In Malaysia, I receive SW 13650kHz North Korea radio station. It is playing communism music like Soviet Union era music, the radio station broadcasts in English. (Date 15.12.2019)

Previously, I attempted twice to receive North Korea shortwave radio station in Malaysia, but failed to receive, I got jamming signal at second try.

Here is the information of receiving North Korea radio station:

- Station: Voice of Korea
