On the 15, UMG began using three receivers to test out reception at that and adjacent<br \/>\nfrequencies on a daily basis and was able to confirm that the exact signal is<br \/>\nbeing jammed.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">The blocking effort is being concentrated<br \/>\non the time period from 10pm- midnight. Specifically, from 10-11pm the jamming<br \/>\nis very strong. The signal jamming is undetectable from midnight to 1am. The<br \/>\nsignal blocking became weaker at midnight on March 15, from which point onward<br \/>\nthe entire three hour broadcast was audible. Starting on the 17, UMG moved the<br \/>\nfrequency, but the jamming operators seemed not to notice because the<br \/>\ninterference continued on the old wavelength.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">Unification Media Group estimates that the<br \/>\nNorth Korean authorities are the responsible party. From the very outset of the<br \/>\nconsortium&#8217;s radio leg activities, which date back to December 2005, the regime has<br \/>\nfrequently looked for ways to jam its frequencies. While sporadic jamming has<br \/>\nbeen common over the past decade, it has had limited impact on receivers.<br \/>\nHowever, starting from March of this year, stronger jamming signals have been deployed.<br \/>\nThe result: fuzzy reception and sometimes even completely blocked signals. This<br \/>\nis the first time that such a strong jamming effort has been continuously<br \/>\nmaintained.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cThis is the strongest signal jam in the<br \/>\nlast few years. &nbsp;As the regime is pushed into further isolation by the<br \/>\nstrongest round of sanctions yet, they have become concerned that the residents<br \/>\nwill be awakened by exposure to outside information,\u201d Unification Media Group<br \/>\n(UMG) President Lee Gwang Baek said.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u201cNorth Korean authorities can not signal<br \/>\njam at high strength across multiple channels, so right now, the most effective<br \/>\nthing to do would be to expand our frequencies and signal strength. We need<br \/>\ndirect [South Korean] government assistance to do that.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">If the government were to grant permission for<br \/>\ncivil society organizations broadcasting to North Korea to use the former&#8217;s powerful<br \/>\nand far-reaching medium wavelengths, the broadcasts would be able to reach far more people despite the jamming<br \/>\nattempts.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">About this, National Intelligence Service<br \/>\nFirst Deputy Director Yeom Don Jae said, \u201cThe regime\u2019s efforts to block radio<br \/>\nsignals from South Korean civic groups is actually confirmation of the potency<br \/>\nof these broadcasts. This will cause considerable agitation for the listeners<br \/>\nwho have become accustomed to tuning in to foreign radio.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">He added, \u201cTherefore, we need to let the<br \/>\nNorth Korean residents know about this situation and use the strength of the<br \/>\nregime as a weapon against them. We need to use multi-dimensional methods to<br \/>\npump the North full of information.\u201d<\/span>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">UMG currently broadcasts from 10pm-1am<br \/>\nnightly on shortwave frequencies via a transmission station in Dushanbe,<br \/>\nTajikstan.
