broadcasting in the Korean language on 4450 kHz. Unfortunately, just after tuning in, a jamming signal

(siren) started up on the frequency. It was so
loud it totally blocked out the signal from the Voice of the People.

So I then moved to 3480 kHz where the Voice of the People was broadcasting
and I noted that there was only minor interference a siren type noise on
the frequency. Unfortunately, loud static crashes on the band from local storms in Australia, made listening quite difficult.
