Re: [IRCA] Korean Peninsula AM FM SW changes

["Chris Kadlec" <beaglebass@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some additional info on the Korean changes:

* 97.8 is back on the air in Haeju, loud and clear.
* 97.0 has a weak but steady signal in southwest Seoul.
* 92.8 new Pyongyang Broadcasting affiliate is jammed on new station 92.8 
Seoul.
* 103.7 is still jammed in Seoul, but with the north seemingly changing 
their whole FM band to even numbers, unknown if it will start up again in 
Haeju. It seems to have been off for some time.

North Korea did much the same a year ago. The whole country turned on 
full-power on New Year's Day as the south scrambled to set up jammers for 
it. But this is a major radio overhaul up there, mostly concentrated along 
the border and Seoul suburbs.
