Many thanks to\u00a0SWLing Post<\/em>\u00a0contributor and noted political cartoonist,\u00a0Carlos Latuff<\/a>, who shares the following\u00a0illustrated radio listening report<\/a> of a recent NHK broadcast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Carlos notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

When an emergency occurs, such as an earthquake or tsunami, NHK, the Japanese public broadcaster, switches its programming to exclusively news coverage of the event. Even the broadcaster’s homepage switches to a light version to reduce cell phone battery consumption.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I received news of the tsunami, it was already after 10 p.m. in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and the propagation to Japan at that time is terrible; you couldn’t hear anything!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, in the morning, after 4 a.m., propagation reopens, and then it was possible to monitor part of NHK’s radio coverage of the tsunami.<\/p>\n
