I'd watch if they filmed a bomb drop on north Korea ... I feel like
getting the popcorn and pepsi ready now!


No bombs.. but God has let loose the deluge on them (and I thought OUR
little part of the peninsula was getting hit hard). Their state news agency
is ADMITTING to "Hundreds killed and tens of thousands of homes lost, along
with thousands of acres of farmland, thousands of public buildings and
electrical and mining infrastructure."

Knowing how that works, I'm sure we can easily figure 5 to 10 times more
damage than they are admitting to. They have already asked for UN food aid.

Before the flood, they were starving ...

And the high temperature here (according to local tv news) today got up
to about 103 degrees.That's suppose to be big news??? I say, NO.

August and September are always the hottest months around here.I am
thinking I might fire up my lawn mower and mow part of my front yard.Not
that it needs it, of course.I saw a brown spot on my yard, maybe I will
hook up my cheap water sprinkler and let it throw some water on my yard.

Like they weren't starving BEFORE global warming? They're ALWAYS
asking for UN food aid. They haven't been able to feed themselves for
at least 30 years. With all the farmland washed away, it's likely that
Kim is running scared. Get ready for another famine. Now what we need
is for flooding to wipe out their shortwave transmitters. That would
drive them bonkers. No way to broadcast glorious odes to Kim Il Sung
to the oppressed American workers. No way to jam evil American
propaganda. No way to broadcast their POV to the South. Without
jamming, the people would freely listen to RFA, followed by the
disintegration of the regime. If that happens, America should let
China deal with it.

I suspect the same might be true of TV from the DPRK. Do you really
want to know that the song being played is entitled "All Glory to the
Dear Leader, Kim Jong-Il and the Eternal President of the DPRK, the
Great Leader Comrade Kim Il-Sung"? Do you want to be able to
understand a three hour lecture on the Juche Idea?

Much better to just let it roll over you like some free-form scat
poetry.

Hey, nobody in America watches TV anyway, they just have it on as
background. It's a white light and noise show. If DPRK TV beamed to
America, people would watch for curiosity value, then it would blend
into the background. Brenda, does the DPRK broadcast TV on South
Korean channel(s)?

Out of all the times I've scanned the cable channels, I've never seen it.
The ROK still jams DPRK MW broadcasts on at least two frequencies that I
know of, 810 and 1080 KHz. There are likely others as well, since there are
at least 5 more jammers out there, but I can only verify these two as coming
from the ROK. We were up near Panmunjum a couple weeks ago, and out of
curiosity I tuned in to those to see how strong the (DPRK) jammers were up
there. To my surprise, they were barely audible.. they were coming from the
SOUTH. The audio on the DPRK MW signals was truly terrible. Sounded worse
than US AM after the bandwidth got narrowed for IBOC.. (sounds like a
telephone with a wadded up handkerchief over the receiver).

Monsoon season gets old. Fast.

Hell. I love the heat...but I remember your words from years back:
"the humidity hits you in the face like a brick wall".

Not to mention it sounded like it was clipping quite a bit. I'm sure
the announcer's hollering sure didn't help things.

Sometimes, the jammer on AM 1080 goes off the air (I noticed it around
mid-day, repeatedly) or its signal power drops drastically and you get
to hear the DPRK radio come in...quite intelligible even on a small
pocket radio. During the times I tuned in and managed to snag the
signal, the station was playing some marching band music, with scary
sounding vocals. I pity whoever is stuck listening to this at work up
there.

Later on in the day, you're hit with an earblasting "beeeeeep" from
the ROK's jammer and a few minutes later, the "chug-chug-chug" sound
is back. Next time, I'm tempted to try the anti-jamming antenna trick
that Radio Free Asia mentions on their website. Wonder if that would
work for MW.
