I wasn’t able to attend the Winter SWL Fest this past weekend due to my travel schedule. As in years past, my good friend David Goren invited me to record a “Meet the Archivist” segment for his annual Shortwave Shindig live event.
Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties this year, and the segment wasn’t able to be played during the live event. However, David recently shared a SoundCloud link with me, and I’m happy to pass it along here on the SWLing Post.
It’s always a lot of fun to be part of this—many thanks to David for including me again!
Feel free to listen to the embedded recording below:

Hi Thomas,
Judging by the 60 dB over S9 signal strength on a Kiwi SDR receiver in South Korea, I would say the Voice of America is getting into its target area very well.
They have a Korean language broadcast on 9310 kHz beginning at 1530 hours UTC using their Tinang transmitter in the Philippines. I made a couple of recordings, which are as follows:
April 29, 2026, leading up to 1600 hours UTC (programming in progress), presumed news about King Charles’ visit, “VOA” heard a few times around 3:04 and 3:10:
April 30, 2026, starting at 1527 UTC, open carrier with tone, carrier off after 40 seconds. carrier back on around the 1:44 mark with English ID and Yankee Doodle briefly, then off, Yankee Doodle resumes at the 2:03 mark, then programming in Korean:
Since my original post on March 9, I’ve noticed the Voice of America is no longer using 7500 kHz for its 2200 UTC broadcast in Mandarin Chinese. According to short-wave.info, they are now using 9625 and 11590 kHz from 2200 to 2230 UTC. Shortwave.live has them here as well, but in recent checks using remote SDRs, I have been coming up empty on 9625, and a bit of a mess on 11590. Other listed times and frequencies checked for the Mandarin service have not been heard either.
