Carlos’ Shortwave Art and recording of the Voice of Korea (November 24, 2022)

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor and noted political cartoonist, Carlos Latuff, who shares his radio log art of a recent Voice of Korea broadcast.

Carlos’ goal is to vividly illustrate the broadcaster’s message in his own unique artistic style and is not a reflection of his own beliefs or those of the SWLing Post. His objective is for his artwork to add historical context and put a visual with the news, reporting, and/or–as is often the case–propaganda:


Carlos notes:

Part of Voice of Korea’s news bulletin, broadcasted in English from Kujang, DPRK, and listened in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Shortwave frequency of 12015 kHz.

Press statement of Kim Yo Jong, Deputy Department Director of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea stating, among other things, that “they (South Korea govt) are the ‘faithful dog’ and stooge of the United States” and “a stray dog gnawing at a bone given by the United States.”

Luciano spots an Icom IC-705 in Westworld

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Luciano M. (LU7EME), who writes:

I think I have seen an Icom IC-705 transceiver in Episode 6, Season 4, of the
TV series “Westworld.”

The microphone is not quite the original, as the one shown in the episode has too many buttons and backlight…. The transceiver can be seen at the time 5:25.

I take this opportunity to congratulate you for your page. I have been a shortwave radio enthusiast since my childhood, and although I have recently become a licensed ham radio operator. I still enjoy listening to the broadcasts from all over the world.

Your posts, recommendations and news are most welcome.

73,
luciano.

Thank you so much for the kind comments, Luciano. Also, you’ve got very sharp eyes to have spotted this IC-705! Well done and thank you for sharing!

Carlos notes:

“Press Statement of Pak Jong Chon, Secretary of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea

It is reported that the United States and south Korea have decided to prolong the “Vigilant Storm” joint air drill.

It is a very dangerous and wrong option.

The irresponsible decision of the United States and south Korea drives the present situation created by the provocative military action of the allied forces to an uncontrollable situation.

The United States and south Korea will come to know that they made irretrievable terrible mistake.
