Tom’s field portable car roof HF antenna.<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, TomL, who shares a recording he made of the Voice of Korea on June 14, 2018. This English broadcast focuses on the Singapore summit and is, no doubt, historic in its content. [Note that we’ve posted other recordings on the Shortwave Radio Audio Archive.<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

TomL notes:<\/p>\n

Recorded on my noisy Lenovo laptop, SDRPlay RSP2<\/a>, and an unamplified 18.5 foot antenna on the roof of my SUV.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m most impressed with the quality of his recording–VOK is not the easiest station to snag in the US midwest:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/1806141300h11.71MHzSAMNKoreaEE\/180614%20-%201300h%20-%2011.71%20MHz%2C%20SAM%20NKorea%20EE.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Thank you for sharing, Tom! I love your field portable vertical–obviously, it’s doing a fine job and your car must make for a decent ground plane!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
