A bit of clipping in the recording. Lots of propaganda, including some
song about how the unity of Korea is more powerful than a nuclear bomb.
Uh, yeah.

You heard the tx to Central America at 1000 UTC, apparently (I looked it
up in Passport). Why the North Koreans are broadcasting English to
Central America in the middle of the night is anyone's guess. 1000
UTC is a great time to pick up Asian stations on the west coast. I'm
surprised it was so weak. I believe that NK has a tx to NAm at 1500 UTC.
Apparently all the happy workers are up bright and early in the worker's
paradise for the greater glory of Kim Jong Il. hehe I suppose that NK
is raring to test that song out by blowing away the South, then taking
over and "unifying" what's left.

VOK is certainly not in the league of Radio Australia or New Zealand.
However, those signals may be beamed to North America.

Key difference: North America is not the TARGET AREA of Oz/NZ
broadcasts. They target Asia and the South Pacific. The nature of SW is
such that they can be heard in NAm, but the target area is far south of
LA. The broadcasts by NK that are targeted to North and Central America
air in the very early morning in the target area. To my knowledge, they
do not broadcast to NAm during our prime time, about 5-11 pm local time.
Most stations that broadcast to NAm have a prime time slot, but not the
North Koreans. NK broadcasts to NAm in the early morning-6am on the west
coast, 9am on the east coast (if the signals reach that far). Most SW
listeners in NAm don't sit down and listen in the morning, which is why
it's not prime time. I suppose that in Kim Jong Il's hermit kingdom that
all workers are properly indoctrinated in the morning before work, which
is why they target us at such an odd time.

It's been about twenty years since Radio Australia stopped registering
frequencies and time periods for North America with the ITU. They
decided to concentrate their resources on listeners in the Pacific and
Asia where Australia has more influence. I remember when their
registration of 9580-Khz for the time period 1100-1300 UTC for North
America expired. The next day the VOA started using that frequency in
the same time period, which made it impossible to hear RA. The VOA
wasn't violating any regulations because the frequency was no longer
registered by RA for North America. They changed it to the South
Pacific. I talked to someone in the frequency department at the VOA that
first morning when the problem started. They weren't aware that RA was
still using 9580-Khz because it was no longer shown in the ITU schedule
for NA. As it turned out, the VOA moved to 9590 the day after I talked
to them, apparently as a gesture of good will to RA. According to ITU
regulations at the time, the VOA didn't have to do it.

Good work. Thanks for taking action.

Their transmit schedule is probably dependant upon when power use by their
masses are at a low.

I suspect you're partially right. On maps that show world electricity
use, NK is completely dark. I suspect that power is turned on for only a
few hours in the evening. The bc times mentioned are all in the
evening-up to about 1am-NK time. When the power is off to the proles,
the power is likely off to the government too. So NK can only broadcast
on shortwave when the power is on, which is in the evening local time. A
side note: when electricity was first introduced to America, it only was
generated in the evening, as it was concieved as a way to light houses
and nothing more. It took some convincing to turn the juice on 24/7. I
suspect that electricity is in very short supply in NK, so they're doing
the natural thing-just using it for lighting when people need it most.

Certainly not!

In the Workers' Paradise of Korea, the Party is in firm control.
Electricity (from the millions of victorious, small power plants) is
given to what the Army-based philosophy of the Dear Leader determines
is most important. The masses gratefully accept whatever is left over.
And no one ever complains.
