Thanks! AFN Korea and AFN Okinawa can be heard on MW during nightime, probably over a large area even beyond the Pacific Rim, maybe on the East Coast as well. Good luck!
can you explain that radio to me that is so cool
You mean the hardware? This is an HF transceiver made by the Japanese company ICOM ( the First in Communication ) based in Osaka which is the manufacturer of a lineup of communication products for both maritime and land use either by the military or the civilian. Icom IC-718 is probably the best value-added product of its caliber capable of receiving as well as transmitting, hailed by World Radio & TV Handbook as a replacement of ICOM R75 receiver which has now ceased production.
whos playing the music like a station far away or a person how are you able to listen to it
The country music is from American Forces Radio that I was monitoring on 13362 KHz(usb)
on the Icom IC-718 transceiver which is capable of receiving in various modes of HF transmission, USB, LSB, CW and RTTY.
so how far away were you and the american forces which rock by the way
That is a distance, mostly over the stretch of the Pacific, between Shanghai and the Island of Guam where the AFN program is transmitted on tempoary conventional radio facilities for a transitional period ( according the media officer ) at an estimated
output of 100 KW. I have been monitoring AFN Guam on daily basis more than a news junkie as I feel American radio runs in my blood.
they play some good music.check out ‘gypwin’ on you tube
Thanks! Yes. They still do, but much much less than they used to, let’s say a few years back. AFRTS programming via AFN-Guam currently follows the talk format. Enjoy!
Great video, I really like the IC-718

Feeding soldiers venomous lies..
Thanks! I monitor AFN on regular basis and I am happy with what they have to offer, with news feeds from a variety of mainstream sources like AP, CNN, NPR and others.
And rock music. 🙂
