Bill, I confess that I pretty much blow the Koreans off.... I have difficulty recognizing the language unless I can hear it well and I speak not a word (both my fault, of course) and most importantly to me, neither KBS domestics nor the North Koreans seem to QSL. I'm too QSL oriented and obviously need to DX some with you to learn about the finer points of DXing Korea. I've pretty much been list logging the Korean on 873. That has been quite prominent this season, but not in the past. However, Guy Atkins logging from our QCI DXpedition is pretty definitive. To quote: 873 NORTH KOREA KCBS Sinuiju, Sep 22 1355 - Korean Orchestral music, very strong and parallel to 2850. 3+1 Time Pips and ID exactly as per PAL 'Choson Chungang Bangsong imnida' at 1400. (Atkins-QCI) I wonder if KCBS have reactivated sometime this summer and the Japanese are just operating on old information??? They do have NHK2 Kumamoto in Kyushu to contend with. Look forward to meeting you one of these days, Bill.... We can regale each other with stories of Americans stumbling their way through East Asia :>) John B. _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
