North Korea 'aggressively' jamming new BBC radio service
It said during radio jamming, a loud noise is transmitted over stations so that listeners can’t hear the content. South Korean officials have previously said that North Korea used radio waves to jam GPS systems, affecting planes and ships.
The BBC broadcasts are carried on shortwave frequencies from Taiwan and Uzbekistan, and on medium wave from Mongolia, 38 North reported. It said it wasn’t possible to determine if the medium wave frequency was also targeted by jamming.
North Korean defectors have admitted to listening to foreign broadcasts, with some even saying they helped them decide to leave their reclusive homeland, according to 38 North.
