Meanwhile, if you want a QSL from N. Korea, it's obviously best to follow a
circuitous route.


Maybe you could send it to the Permanent Mission of the People's
Republic of Korea to the United Nations.

The Korean Mission is currently headed by H.E. Mr. KIM Sam-hoon,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent
Representative. In November 1999, the Korean Permanent Mission moved
to its present address, 335 East 45th Street, between 1st and 2nd
Avenues, in New York City. The Mission's 11-story building is one of
the recent works by the world-renowned architect, Mr. I. M. Pei. The
building contains exhibition rooms, an outdoor garden and a conference
room, all of which carry a traditional Korean touch.


Tell them I sent you.
