About this project
This one-year averaged bandscan (2011-12) was originally conducted with a Samsung Yepp Q2 MP3 player with a built-in tuner, utilizing just the earphones wire as an antenna. This list includes stations commonly received in Songtan (Pyeongtaek), Korea under average tropospheric conditions. Some content was updated in 2015-16, but concentration was primarily on my AM band projects at that time. In addition, you can find 1 ½ hours of audio from the South Korean and North Korean locals on this page.
Station top-of-hour IDs
Each station in both South Korea and North Korea – with the exception of English-language stations (AFN, TBS eFM, GFN), whether they have call letters or not – is required to give a mandatory station ID with network and call letters at the start of each hour. Each station’s ID was recorded from Songtan over the course of 90 days in the spring of 2012 and is included in the web-based bandscan list below (but not in the PDF version). Click the 
button to listen to each station’s top-of-hour ID or tune into the 2-hour compilation of all station IDs below. For a similar project based in North America, listen to the 6+ hour 500 Top-of-Hour IDs audio documentary.
Other radio resources from this location
There’s more than 13 hours of radio content as recorded from Korea available on this site alone. Here’s a look at what else you can listen to:
• Songtan Audio Bandscan (0:34:04): Be sure to check out the 34-min. Songtan audio bandscan recorded from this location on a sunny afternoon in June 2015.
• Songtan Chinese FM Log (3:12:56): For all the Chinese stations commonly heard at this location, there is always the full Songtan FM Radio Log, including more than 3 hours of audio via tropospheric propagation and E-Skip from 2011-16 reaching as far away as Siberia and Malaysia.
• Seoul AM Radio Listening Guide (7:21:32): There are also numerous FM radio clips on the site for my AM radio project. These include clips of Pyongyang FM, Kim Jong-il’s funeral broadcast as heard on live radio at the time, and other propaganda networks on the Korean FM band. Of course, you can find all the AM content here as well.
Networks and transmitters
The Korean Peninsula is very mountainous, so naturally, most transmitting towers are located atop mountains, noted in most cases by the suffix “-san” (산) in Korea and “-shan” (山) in China. While a majority of stations broadcast a signal of 5 kw power or less, due to the elevation from which they broadcast, most signals cover very large areas with near local-grade signals, often 30+dBµ at impressive distances.
In addition to this fact, because Korea is a small country surrounded by water on three sides, the band in this region is virtually saturated with stations, many running network feeds parallel to one another, yet broadcasting individual local IDs when required at the top of the hour.
Power is reported as actual transmitter power output (TPO) as opposed to effective radiated power (ERP) as used in North America, although ERP is listed as a side note when available. Transmitter issues encountered in this region are mostly limited to overmodulation – broadcasting, in part, outside of the allotted frequency, thus causing audio distortion on many receivers – noted to a large degree on the Pyongyang-based locals, the Incheon-based Voice of Freedom (자유의소리) transmitter, and Shandong-based stations, many of which are also mountain peak transmitters.

The 90 days spent chasing down and recording these top-of-hour IDs was a great experience. While many were easy local stations that required none more than a walk across the street to hear, nearly two dozen of them demanded a half-hour walk and hike before work in the morning. An ID comes only immediately before the start of the hour at the same time on every station, meaning there was just a single opportunity per station each hour with 59 minutes of downtime on the mountain in the meantime. Plus, it would turn out that this project was both good practice for and the predecessor to the 500 Top-of-Hour IDs project in 2018.
