Re: [IRCA] 1053 Pyongyang Branch of the Anti-imperialist National Democratic Front

[Bruce Portzer <bportzer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There was talk of this broadcast leaving the air a few years ago.  As I 
recall, it had to do with some agreement or treaty between North and 
South Korea.  There may have been a date established for these (and 
possibly other) broadcasts to end, but for whatever reason it never 
happened. 

I've heard the South Korean jammer many times but never knowingly heard 
the North Korean broadcasts, though I might've mistaken it for the 
Japanese station.
