A video would be quite valuable I would think, Gary....By the looks
of it there would be more than a few to go through until you find
the exact number that you heard, hi.
best wishes,
Nick

Hi Bruce,
Yes, that looks exactly like the group that I heard on 657-Pyongyang
(maybe with a little imagination thrown in).
I may need to monitor 657 more often in the Fall Season from now on :-)
73, Gary

Hello All,
Although almost all TP-DXers seem to be taking a break from the
daily chase due to the miserable May conditions, I thought I would
share a bizarre recording made last month at the Rockwork 4 ocean
cliff in Oregon.
At 1147 UTC (0447 local time) it was still totally dark at the
Highway 101 turnoff on April 9, the first morning of my DXpedition.
The South Pacific stations were already bailing, but the Asian big
guns were starting to boom in. I tuned in to 657, expecting to hear
the usual tirades, martial music and/ or dreary orchestra from
Pyongyang, North Korea. To my great surprise I got nothing of the
sort, but instead a pop-sounding number sounding very much like an
American girl group from the early 60's.

This two minute recording made me wonder if I might have tracked
down the wrong TP, since nothing like this had ever been heard from
Pyongyang in my 7 years of TP-DXing. As if to reassure me, however,
the angry Korean tirades returned immediately afterwards (along with
more tirades on the sick-sounding 702 channel, for good measure).
73 and Good DX,
Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA)
