Hi Glenn - Thanks to info in WORiog, I tuned-in today (Sunday March 15) to hear Kenneth Bae's new
"NKHB" broadcast on 5920 (interesting to note this was one of the frequently used frequencies of
the now defunct "Voice of Freedom," which on Sept 1, 2025, the South Korea’s Ministry of National
Defense officially suspended broadcasts); suddenly on at *1730 UT, while broadcasting from Taiwan;
heard via Kiwi SDR remote at Okayama, Japan; mostly announcers and played one EZL song; a good
number of "NKHB" SAs. Bae has said "NKHB plans to provide online content for North Korean residents
living abroad" and "Broadcasting is almost the only channel through which we can connect with North
Korean residents right now."
