Congratulations on the continued TP logs, Tim. My recordings haven't 
been starting until just before 1300, so I can't help there. I have a 
few comments:

North Korea is the overwhelming favorite on 819, but sometimes S Korea, 
China, or Japan can be heard in the background.

Korea and Japan are sometimes heard here instead of Harbin. Can't 
really say more.

JOGB and North Korea fight it out here most of the time. The frequency 
is hard for me to hear at home due to a 50kw music station 7 miles away 
on 880 but both stations are easy on coastal DXpeditions. The recording 
sounds like something the NHK2 network would carry. It would have had 
an English lesson at 1232, so the doorbell and music could be part of a 
shirt skit (which are quite common on NHK English lessons). It doesn't 
sound like something North Korea would carry.

The recording sounds typical of what CNR1 broadcasts

Probably CRI Korean service. CRI often has music fills near the end of 
their broadcasts

I don't hear much here at home. On the coast, I sometimes hear Japan or 
Korea commercial stations but neither is all that strong. No ideas otherwise
