HFDL New HFDL Ground Station and System Table?

[ka3jjz]

We've been burned by this before, but evidently there have been several messages on the HFDL Yahoo group (and a few on the UDXF) that there's a new HFDL ground station on the air, and with that, a new system table. According to 'John', it's (quoting here) right outside Taecheonan-gil, on a peninsula in the southwest coast of South Korea. Google Earth shows 2 towers with the characteristic guy anchor points. It's about 14km from Muan International Airport.

I am attaching a text file with a prelim new system table - it's station 10, currently marked as UNKNOWN (I have added notes to its location). If this is true, this would be Table 51. This is not yet an official release, and likely won't be until it's copied off the air. Submitted with caution....Mike

Reykjavic seems to be on the older table still, Riverhead NY is on table 51 and I presume the rest of the western ground stas will be 51. Will have to check the rest of the ground stas I can hear to see for sure.

Per notes on the UDXF, the South Korea site has apparently starting broadcasting. The frequencies noted thus far are 21931, 17958 and 13342 (heard by Mike Jackson who is in NZ), 6619 and 8939 (via Ary Boender using a Japanese SDR site). 'Dick' writes:

The exact coordinates are listed in the System Table as:
Ground Station ID 10
MUAN - SOUTH KOREA
Longitude 126 14 19 E Latitude 35 1 56 N

The actual coordinates are
35.033314 x 126.238473 for the SE tower and
35.033785 x 126.237641 for the NW tower.

The towers are now present on the current GE imagery which is dated on 11/30/2018.
