Re: [IRCA] From Chris Kadlec-- South Korean Jammers

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

OK, Nick, here is a link to Chris' recording of the signal from 810-Kaesong, North Korea (close across the inter-Korean border), as "modified" by a local South Korean jammer. My own impressionÂis that the original programming was obnoxious enough to deter listeners, even without the jammerÂÂÂÂ
