North Korea - B13 Updated Version - from previous post on 24 October 2013
On Sunday, 27 October 2013, 03:00 UTC, Voice of Korea, the official external broadcasting service of the DPR Korea (North) from Pyongyang, introduced the B13 winter schedule.
I have monitored additional changes to my previously published schedules The most outstanding change is that Pyongyang Pangsong (Pyongyang Broadcasting Station - PBS) is no longer available via Voice of Korea's shortwave transmitters since the station has started its own website www.gnu.rep.kp
Another change is that on 3250 kHz only Pyongyang Pangsong and the Japanese broadcasts of Voice of Korea are on the air. No other foreign language program scan be heard anymore.
Voice of Korea is anxious to get reception reports and letters from their listeners. Please send them to:
