819 2000 KRE KCBS Chosun Jungang Pangsong, Pyongyang (pyo) Presumed but based on time signal alone
My recording: https://app.box.com/s/5t8i4x6j1cnc2mj0828v Compare with this:

** Personal Skegness 'First'
A new country for me today on medium wave. North Korea! It's almost certain, but I am basing my logging on the time signal alone. I really need to get a better recording of this but, after hearing a recording on YouTube of KCBS 819. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlQ1gNQYUkI and comparing this with my own recording I can hear that the time signals are identical. If you have a musical ear you will also be able to tell that the fourth pip is very slightly 'flat', giving it quite a distinctive sound. I will log this as 'presumed' for now but I think there is no doubt that this is the KCBS time signal on my recording. I just need a bit more signal next time to catch the vocals.
I made a recording of the YouTube video and my recording of the time pips, side by side: https://app.box.com/s/n1bjxxd1z865zug7qoo9
Here is South Korea making a mess of Germany on 972: https://app.box.com/s/ounzqrjk7z26b8c3roes

Some out-of-season Es yesterday. Well, a single out-of-season E no less. I have the video of this but the signal was trailing away once I got Bandicam recording. It wasn't strong enough for RDS but I can say without doubt this was an E and not MS.
The tropo to Switzerland was a surprise. I heard the station playing pop music, very weakly, when Norwich's Future Radio dropped out.

The unstable tropo continues.
Another nice lift to Ireland during the late morning and to the London area during the late evening, but it's a strange tropo this time. Signals are good for a short time, then they dip right back and stay at low level for most of the time. RDS has been a struggle too, requiring more signal than usual. In the same way we've had a teasing E season this year, this has been a teasing tropo.

I first thought this was Bel RTL from Oignies-en-Thiérache but what I heard did not quite match up to the web stream, although it was very close. I am still not convinced either way. It was definitely not Banquise FM from Isbergues. Any help appreciated. Hopefully there will be some clues in the adverts. There is an ID in here too but the narrowing of the XDR made it difficult to hear.

I have been careful to include as little music as possible in these videos so YT don't block them.

What a bizarre slogan on City Talk, Liverpool's TALK station "Now... City Talk's Greatest Hits, the Biggest Songs on the Planet".
I have been careful to include as little music as possible in these videos so YT don't block them.
Good DX!
