New country logged from Seoul:

1431 Choibalsan, Mongolia / 959 miles (1544 km.) from 323Â (NW).
Transmitter is 500kw directional at 150Â toward Korea, good at 35-40dBu
with peaks between 45-50dBu (a Nogizaka 46 song is giving the signal some
trouble).

This is a very good signal for such a low power at that distance,
successful for the fact it's one of the rare open frequencies in East Asia.
1440 Daegu (50 dBu) was throwing bleed-over interference onto 1431 for some
time with Smashing Pumpkins, Metallica, and others. This also marks the
first time I was harassed at my AM DX site in the 8 months I've frequented
it at night.

"This is a test transmission broadcasting on 1431 kHz. [low tone] You're
listening to a test transmission on 1431 kHz on the medium wave band. [high
tone] This is a test transmission broadcasting on 1431 kHz. [low tone] On
1431 kHz medium wave, this is a test transmission [high tone]"

Please note that this is a test specifically targeting listeners here in
Korea and not a test for DXers, so don't bother with any QSL requests for
hearing this station.
