The January, 2023 edition of the Pacific Asian Log (PAL) is now available. It can be downloaded from the Radioheritage website https://www.radioheritage.com/ (click on the link at the top center of the page). Members of the IRCA groups.io list can also download the PAL from the files page at https://groups.io/g/IRCA/files/Station Lists and References/PAL-Jan-2023.pdf/
As usual, many changes and updates have been incorporated into this latest edition. They include:
- Fixing a large number of web links, as well as adding a few new ones
- Adding to and expanding the information on parallel frequencies
- Adding station and schedule information for the Japanese radio program Rekumen!
- Changing the cover. A few months ago, someone wrote and suggested using a higher resolution version of the map I have been using. I can’t find the email now, so my apologies go out to whoever it was. The suggestion prompted me to visit some on-line map collections in search of possible alternatives. The new map is similar to the old one, but future PAL covers may be different.
- Updating many station listings, and removing several silent stations in South Korea and elsewhere
- Making some minor organization and presentation tweaks
