Art, unfortunately you chose a poor morning compared to the last several mornings.  As for NK vs SK:  generally the North Koreans are virtually always off frequency by a 100 Hz or more, so this gives a good hint.  I had a quick look at my loggings but this is not a common frequency reported.  I didn't get any audio the week I was on the Charlottes in February.  I see that John Bryant has heard a station on 926.92....I'd say most likely NK.  Now I've reviewed this past season's loggings.  I heard NHK1 on 927 on October 9th, and unknown station on October 7th....both on the Charlottes.  I see that John Bryant had snippets of audio several times, without comment, although on one day in the early fall, he did mention a ?KK and a frequency of 926.94.  There's my contribution, if that helps at all.........Walt Salmaniw, Victoria
