Not sure what pattern they use for the Korean broadcasts, but it would
make sense it's the northerly one, 350 degrees -3dB down at +/- 40
degrees or so (based on a diagram sent from their engineering department
some years ago).  You likely don't want the Chinese broadcast from
1100 to 1230UT (and 1345 to 1630, but local sunrise kills that I would
think) , 265 degrees, 3 dB down +/- 30 degrees.  Japanese from 1230
to 1345 UT is beamed 80 degrees +/- 30.

Good luck.

best wishes,

Nick
