>Walt, did I understand you to say that the Koreans seemed diminished this year to you???  I feel the opposite. I seem to have Koreans all over the dial... little beyond KBS in South Korea, but a slew of those and more North Koreans around than I've ever noticed before.  For me, there are two black clouds... one sitting on top of most everything above 1100 on the dial and the other perched squarely over Japan. Did I misunderstand what you meant about the Koreans being down???

Oh man, and likewise in Victoria across the water.  We are SOO lucky to live in such paradise!  Road my bike downtown to enjoy the harbour and sites, and now I'm off to work in the clinic.  Anyway, yes, the North Koreans are there, and plenty of them, but not with quite the punch I experienced last year it would seem.  There are some exceptions, like 1170 and 603, however.  I'm with you, though, of your assessment of this morning! ....Walt
