Re: [IRCA] Where's the Korean Jammer When You Need It?

Thanks Steve,

I'm glad that the TOH recording helped you to nail it down (at least the "C sharp" TOH chime).

North Korea used to have its "TOH" on the half hour until this spring, when their time system abruptly changed to follow most of the rest of the world. The 1330 UTC "TOH" recordings of 657-Pyongyang were some of the strongest ones ever recorded here.
