I had problems in approve-script when accepting this. So here it is
again:

> NORTH KOREA
> 
> In addition to last week's 3025 kHz (still on every night), the presumed
> YOUNG SOLDIERS BROADCASTING STATION is back on 2625 kHz with usual war
> drama in Northern dialect. First noted 1545 UTC Thursday 3/17/97, very good
> signal and better audio than other two frequencies (1615 and 3025 kHz).
> This is my first reception on this frequency in a few years despite regular
> monitoring. Curiously, different programs of the same format are aired
> simultaneously on three frequencies (all endless "national liberation" war
> dramas, patriotic songs, soldiers shouting "Long live the Great Leader
> Comrade!" etc.) You can even hear the imperialist invaders speak Japanese
> and English! Transmission times vary, but are all usually approximately
> 1400 - 1900 or 2000 UTC.
> 
> What really is this, from a country that can't even afford to light up the
> streets in her capital city, broadcasting three different endless dramas
> every night until dawn?
