Now, what might be fun is for the ROK to take some of those insanely
powerful transmitters they use locally, tune them to the frequencies
that the Dear Leader uses to reach his adoring people, and aim them at
the DPRK's population centers...

Then put on some "Lord Haw-Haw" type performances, mocking the crazy
little maniac and his insane, homicidal policies and regime.

Just for 2 or 3 minutes at a time... randomly distributed during peak
listening hours... I'll bet THAT would give the starving, mind-numbed
masses the energy needed to tune in!

Then again... it might rile up the little bugger so much that he sends
a million troops over the DMZ.

That wouldn't be so funny, after all. So let's just scrap the whole
idea.

One station, at 972 KHz, is just across the bay from me (you can hear them
on any radio, even one with no antenna... ) and is beamed due north to
Pyeongyang. Apparently, there is some political fun and games because now
the following seems to be in force:

With "no antenna" meaning exactly that? -- no intended antenna at all?
If I take the ferrite bar out of a crappy portable, it makes no
difference?

I suppose so, given the power ratings you've quoted.

I just can't imagine what it's like to have 0.75 - 1.5MW blasted at
me. That must be how people hear voices from their dental fillings.

Strangely, the North does not usually jam the medium-wave transmissions of
South Korea's broadcast towards-the-North, KBS Radio Korean Ethnicity
(formerly KBS Radio Liberty Social Education) on 972 and 1134 kHz. It
should
be noted that KBS Radio Korean Ethnicity actually no longer targets North
Koreans since the North-South Korea Joint Declaration on 15 June 2000. As
of
15 August 2007, the radio channel has changed to a special radio broadcast
for ethinic Koreans in Northeast China and Far Eastern Russia.[2]

I'm sorry. I tried a few times to understand this paragraph, but I
still fail. It has a footnote, though. Should there have been more to
it than I got?

It's Wikipedia... sometimes I think the people that post to it don't use
English as their primary language..
