moderate jamming.

They have added a new segment; at 1425 heard "This is a
message from the Japanese Government"; "The Japanese
Government will surely bring all the abductees back home";
the government will be broadcasting (every night?) a program

This announcement followed by Shiokaze's normal canned
sign off announcement. On Wednesday (25th) was in Korean,
not the normal English programming.
