The cloud of mystery surrounding the radio program reported as "United Lao Movement for Democracy" (ULMD) is finally clearing. The broadcasts, CRW can report, are indeed sponsored by ULMD. Multiple sources have also independently confirmed to CRW that the programs are recorded in Hmong, a minority dialect in Southeast Asia.
A spokesman for ULMD reached by telephone refused comment but did confirm that the group is producing the radio programs.
Armed with an online Hmong-English dictionary, we have translated an address announced during a broadcast featured on the Interval Signals Archive.
P.O. Box 2426
St. Paul, MN 55106
USA
The station ID, spelled phonetically, is "Xotvooj cua Tsa kom cua Ngem ah cua."
Although we are unsure of two words in the station ID, "Xotvooj cua" translates to "Radio." A tentative translation of the station ID is "Radio Hmong Hope."
Radio Hmong Hope/ULMD broadcasts between 0100 and 0200 GMT Fridays on 17540 kHz. Its frequency will likely change to 12070 kHz, according to Wolfgang Büschel, during the B-02 Winter season.
