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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlQ1gNQYUkI. The time signals are identical.

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
