Apil sad si Pyongyang Sally ani. They often transmitted code words on-air to their operatives abroad, especially kana si Axis Sally.

Perti nako pangita ug mga broadcast samples anang Pyongyang Sally wala jud ko kita. I'll still search for it. Actually most of these videos (except for Lord Haw-Haw) are the result of collecting broadcast samples and compiled them and made into a video. The easiest one was Axis Sally's. The rest I make due like a puzzle because they were usually fragmented files. I also collected broadcasts from Pacific Theater of WWII, Vietnam War, AFVN radio broadcast (Armed Forces Vietnam Network). It became a sort of an obsession.

I hope to find more Cold War era propaganda samples. I'm sure during the height of Communism the airwaves had plenty of these but I can only find Numbers Stations that transmit weird signals no one understands and not talk-radios, columns and commentaries like what Tokyo Rose or Axis Sally does.

BTW. If you have powerful shortwave radios you can still hear number stations.

I had a library of them way back in early 2000s in my old computer, Tokyo Rose, Hanoi Hannah, Axis Sally, etc. even the rare Pyongyang Sally. Speaking of Cold War era, pangita ug "Moscow Molly". Puhon ani, basin naay "Beijing Betty" hehehe.

The age of Shortwave is fading and almost gone. Digital is causing much havoc with reception, do you know that? Do you like war and killing TS?

Yes that's very unfortunate. One famous shortwave station, Radio Netherlands will be closing this 29 June. I was just enjoying their nightly story broadcasts two summers ago. SW really makes radio interesting; its weird and offbeat and seems to be stuck in the past which makes it more appealing. Its sad many stations are going off air.

Do you like war and killing TS?

I like to read and learn about them so when someone promotes it without good cause, we can deny him this satisfaction.

What do you mean you had a library? Where's your library now?! You need to dig 'em!

@machinecult:

you can do all the reading in the world about war.. you can spend a thousand lifetimes reading about war.. but you will never understand and feel war unless you have gone to war yourself.

no war is ever a good cause. all wars are lost causes.

i am telling you that from a first hand account.

yes.. you can read.. those pages can never contain the miseries of war.

On SW, we use to have fun DX listening, stations around the world.. receiving QSL cards.. those were the days. Radio has evolved.

Well I can guarantee you that I never will and hopefully shall never experience it first hand. Akong papa gikan sa military when I was at my early teens and told him I want to be in the military it pissed him off. When I kept joking that I will, he exploded.

Never had the privilege of having a ham radio. Maybe someday in the future (if there is still future for SW) I only tried a ham software from the net. My callsign if I remember was 3(HS)Hotel Sierra198. I'm a ham wannabe.
