Re: [IRCA] TP's for 10-23-09

I rechecked the VOA website and they still have a Korean program listed 
on 648 during the morning local time 1900-2100 UT.  That would be about 
noon here, so we wouldn't be able to hear it. 

The evening VOA Korean programs have been replaced by the 1350 and 1188. 

I had forgotten about the morning broadcasts when I wrote the earlier 
e-mail.
