One thing I noticed when  visiting Japan last year was that the North 
Korean on 1080 was mixing with a jammer that sounded very similar to 
the one we hear on 1053.  Didn't notice any others, but guess the 
jammers are set up to be effective in South Korea, not North America, 
or even Japan.

Bill Harms, do you have any knowledge of these jammers, either 
technical or sociological (like, why does South Korea figure they're 
necessary, or is North Korean programming really that inspiring?)

best wishes,

Nick
