Re: [IRCA] AFN AM Frequencies

[Walter Salmaniw <canswl@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm that I attempted to hear AFN Korean frequencies when I was in

might have just barely heard a single frequency in the middle of the night,
but only tentatively.  I recall being very surprised by this lack of
reception.  73, Walt
