It's interesting to note that Primetime Shortwave gives the frequencies
for N. Korea at 1300 utc as follows:

1300-1400 NA, Eu North Korea V. of Korea 4405, 9325, 11710, 13760,
15245

While the schedule available at
http://www.eibi.de.vu/ provides the
following frequencies:

1300 1400 KRE Voice of Korea E Eu 4405 7570 12015
NAm 9335 11710
1300 1400 KRE Voice of Korea-PBS K Eu 6285 9325

Some slight discrepancies between the two, but big enough to throw
someone off. If (as eibi indicates) 9325 is used for a Korean broadcast
to Europe, that would explain what I heard this morning. On the other
hand, Primetime Shortwave doesn't even mention 9335, which appears to
be an active frequency for English language broadcasts from N. Korea. I
wonder if incomplete or inaccurate data on Primetime Shortwave at least
partially accounts for my failure to receive N. Korea.
