Radio Transmission Frequency

With the attempt to launch Kwangmyongsong 2 in 2009, North Korea said the satellite would be broadcasting a mixture of songs in praise of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, and telemetry. The frequency was given as 470 MHz. Prior to the first Kwangmyongsong 3 launch, similar comments were forthcoming.

From this, it is reasonable to conclude that the same will apply to Kwangmyongsong 3-2. So we will need to look out for a modulated signal near 470.00 MHz.

If it is successful in reaching orbit, the first opportunities to pick up signals will be from South and North America, on northbound passes in the few hours immediately after launch. About eight hours after launch, it will come within range of Europe with a series of southbound ground tracks.
Radio amateurs might want to try 470MHz if there is a pass.
