NHK World - Radio Japan (via Ascension Island)


NHK World - Radio Japan, transmitting from the Ascension Island relay station, was logged on 28 April 2013. A broadcast of news on the hour, lively discussion and jazzy music was heard between 08.00 to 09.05 UTC (broadcast time 08.00 to 10.00 UTC). Reception on 12.015 kHz  at 08.00 UTC was (SINPO) 34343 -- fair signal strength with audible and discernible speech, despite some transmitter hum and atmospheric noise. At 09.00 UTC, reception improved slightly to 45344 -- stronger signal with continued clarity of speech and atmospheric noise.
