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 broadcast content:
Carlos notes:
EEUU, El Lobo Desdentado, La Voz de Corea (en español), RPDC, 12015 kHz.
“…es una conducta imbécil confiar la garantía de seguridad en un lobo desdentado que está desesperado para mantener su vida precaria…“
(“…it is a foolish act to get a security guarantee by relying on a toothless wolf trying to prolong its remaining days…”)
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Paul Walker, who has notified us that KSKO (his FM station in McGrath, Alaska) will be on shortwave every Friday from 21:00 to 22:00 UTC via Spaceline Bulgaria on 5,900 kHz.
As of last week, this will be a weekly broadcast spot for KSKO.
Thanks for the tip, Paul!

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who shares the Radiofax news report (above) from Kyodo News Agency and his amazing artwork (below) detailing the news and his Radiofax reception. Carlos writes:
Expect the unexpected from the pages of today’s Kyodo News Morning Edition (first two pages).
Few headlines:
281 landslides caused by Noto quake, Hamas demands full withdrawal – Gaza truce proposed by 4 nations including US, massive attack in Ukraine, 12 people injured after being bitten by a dog, contaminated water leaks from Fukushima Daiichi, etc…
Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes:
Now I’ve a notebook computer, and I can decode the Kyodo News radiofax signal accurately.
Unfortunately, unlike Fldigi, the MixW software doesn’t have the option to save the image, which forces me to make print screens, paste them into a graphics program and save them as an image. Still, the result is perfect (see image above].
Attached the NX Japan Navigational Warnings, with translation done by the Google Translator app.
For documentation purposes, I saved the decoding in vídeo:
Wow, Carlos! It does make a huge difference when you’re not relying on acoustic coupling for the decodes. Obviously MixW is a very capable Radiofax decoding system as well. I’m surprised it can’t automatically save images, though. Thank you for sharing!
