Kim Jong un is a great man. I think the movie that was made in the usa is an outrage. I have written a novel called memoirs of a terrorist (Bin Laden’s Lost Agenda). in it I as a lone wolf terrorist kill military , police and americans in ways that can never be defended against.the fbi is currently reviewing it. I would love to offer it to MR. KIM UN to publish from n. Korea. I am sure the usa will be as outraged at it’s publishing as N.K was by the recent movie. my offer stands, for MR. UN anytime.

A powerful Medium-wave signal could be heard all over the Korean peninsular but it would be jammed. A powerful shortwave signal on about 6MHz would easily cover all of the North but would be also subject to jamming and, I would guess, that not many people in the North would know much about Shortwave.

I was at my Japan mountain cabin writing, isolated with no car, phone or tv, when Kim Il-sung died in 1994. A kind soul sent me a telegram to alert me and I turned on my shortwave radio to get Pyongyang’s side of the story. Medium wave for broadcasts going into NK always seemed important, and it was mystifying that the U.S. — apparently much more interested in broadcasting to China — took years to set it up for Radio Free Asia and then, pretty quickly, abandoned MW. I don’t know whether it’s been restored. Didn’t those MW signals come from a nearby country that is NOT South Korea?
