Fall and winter mornings usually bring in plenty of Asian stations on
shortwave where I am near Seattle. Sometimes, I'll turn on KCBS Pyongyang
from Kanggye, North Korea, or Voice of Korea to hear their music, even if
it's often overmodulated. But in recent days, I haven't heard KCBS on 11680
or 9665. I thought at first it was due to poor conditions, but I can't even
see a carrier on those frequencies when checking SDRs in Eastern Asia.
Wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
