Actually, all jammers on MW, SW, and FM are still on the air as normally in
Korea. I would send you the SDR of them, but... heck, this list can barely even
handle its own text that we send it. There have been no changes in the radio
situation. Just some hopeful people dreaming that it might change. Seoul and
Hwaseong are still broadcasting on 657, 810, 819, 855, etc. with the coastal
Incheon sites still on 855. Of course, 1053 Gimpo, 1053 Seoul, and 1080 Seoul
have been off for two years now because Haeju is turned off. All the FM jammers
for all the Echo of Unification stations on the outskirts of Seoul are still on
as usual. All the usual SW jammers at Taereung and Haengjusanseong are
operating as usual. 3970 (3965 actually at the moment) is still drunken on the
SDR like 801 used to be in the DPRK, drifting around the dial. If you have not
heard these stations, the reason must be poor conditions or poor luck. They are
all there.

Yes, Chris, I understand that Pyongyang switched to the UTC+9 system (from
UTC+8 1/2) after the first inter-Korean summit this year. So now it seems that
China (with the CNR stations having their 1+1 pip on the half hour) is one of
the few TP countries still broadcasting pips at half past the hour.
Last December in Kona, Hawaii it was easy to track down KCBS and Pyongyang BS
stations on multiple frequencies because of their pips on the half hour, but
next month on Kauai I guess I'll need to work harder on the busy frequencies.
It seems like the Southern jammers on 801. 819 and 855 have also been turned
off as a result of the summit. The S9+ signals from 819-KCBS every evening will
probably be the same, though!
