If
you know Japanese, I would greatly appreciate your
help. I have heard interesting radio stations from
Japan, but I haven't been able to identify them. This
page contains recordings of those stations.
The
sound files are in MP3 format. Just listen to the
soundfiles, compare your observations with others
and please email
me what you hear.

NHK1,
but I heard so many different locations from Sapporo
to Hiroshima that I don't know where this is from,
supposed to be a local/regional break. The signal
improves greatly towards the end.
Hideki Watanabe: I could not identify the local.
0'40 female; nationwide weekly weather cast.
3'00 male and female; nationwide traffic informations.
4'55 time pips then News.
Mika: Many thanks! It seems that there are
no local/regional breaks before 1100 UTC, unlike mentioned
in the WRTH. |

Aomori mentioned in the beginning, but the ID at 2'50''
sounds like "JOJG NHK Yamagata Dai-ichi hoso
desu"? |

I first thought that this would be Hokkaido regional,
but may be just national programming after all? |

NHK1,
the beginning of the local/regional break. I think
there are two stations (one female and one male reader).
The female signal comes relatively well at 0953 (3'10''
from the start) and again at 0954 UTC (4'08'' from
the start and thereafter), just after checking a couple
of other frequencies. For some reason I concluded
that the male voice would be Hokkaido.
Hideki Watanabe:
NHK-Wakkanai and Kofu.
at 0'06 female: talk about Yamanashi pref.
2'40 male: random shot used air gun from car.
3'00 male: news from Hokkaido.
3'07 female: talk about monthly forecast from Asahikawa,
Hokkaido.
4'32 male: talk about national road route 20.
4'40 female: investigation about asbestos in Asahikawa
city. |

This
is very strong. NHK2, I would suspect that the ID
is "JOFD NHK Fukushima Daini Hoso", which
would mean that the station is JOCD Koriyama which
relays JOFD (1602 AM)?
Hideki Watanabe: Yes, JOCD relays JOFD.
Fukushima city is a capital of Fukushima pref.
It is not relate to output power. Koriyama city is
a bigger than Fukushima city, but not capital. |
