Early on October 15, conditions towards the northern part of Japan were excellent, giving AFN Misawa 1575 with a good signal, and also low-powered HBC Sapporo relays on 1494 and 1557. Here is another low-powered relay, that of NHK-1 station JOPG in Kushiro, Hokkaido. The main station is on 585; the Nemuro relay is on 1584. You wouldn't expect 100 watts to sound this good. There is another NHK-1 station which a friend of mine in Japan is trying to ID for me. Cool catch! Some might want to rename this blog to arcticdx.bragspot.com... Heard with an RF Space SDR-IQ; the audio file is recorded in 64 kbps quality with Total Recorder.
Internet Explorer users may not find this as easy to access as Firefox users. I don't know why.

Yes, cool catch! Can you write out what´s he is saying? :-)
Nice catch Bjarne. I use IE7 and had to use the link from the filename to play this file with JOPG NHK1 ...Hoso identification!
He says "JOPG NHK Kushiro Dai Ichi Hoso Desu" which is the standard NHK-1 local ID. A standard NHK-2 local ID would be (in case of Kushiro) "JOPC NHK Kushiro Dai Ni Hoso Desu", Japanese "One" is "Ichi"; "Two" is "Ni".
Nice DX!
I live in Sapporo-city, Hokkaido, Japan.
I listened your sound file. It's correct in the Nemuro relay station.
It is possible to receive it more excellently than it receives it in my shack.
The Hokkaido area of NHK-2 doesn't local ID announce the name
of location(ex-Sapporo,Kushiro…) and callsign.
There are called "NHK dai ni Hoso Desu"
