Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Andy Wang, who shares the following recording and notes:
DPRK's international radio service was named "Radio Pyongyang" until year 2002. Now it is called "Voice of Korea".
In Chinese, Korean and Japanese languages, there are different words to distinguish the north and south.
In English language, word "Korea" may stand for both.
I think the name "Radio Pyongyang" is clear, does not have ambiguity. The name "Voice of Korea", we cannot guess which side it is from.
The radio recording was on the Military Foundation Day in DPRK, 25 April 1999. Its content is the celebration of the festival.
The programmes are political promotion news, editorials, songs and music.
The distance from receiving place Shenyang to Pyongyang is about 374.3KM, to Seoul is about 565.4KM, and to Beijing is about 660.5KM.
The two distances are shorter than to China's capital, it is easier to receive the radio programmes from the Korean Peninsula, and no special equipment is required.
Sometimes in the night, in the mid wave band, the radio transmission from North Korea can "mix" with Shenyang local radio signal, unintentionally interferes the local broadcast.

Receiver and antenna: MeiDuo Radio Receiver and Casette Recorder CP6941 with antenna on it.
Notes: This is a record of VOA Korean Service on the year 2002, I cannot remember the exact month and day of the record. But I think it is on the second quarter of that year.
The background has serious radio interference from the DPRK.
I do not speak Korean, and I did not invoke machine speech recognition to extract transcriptions. I would like to share, anyone who speaks Korean is welcome to interpret the content of the recording.

Receiver used was a Japan Radio Co. NRD-545 (Sync on and 10 kHz bandwidth). One can hear minor DSP artifacts (burps) mixed in the background. Of course a common trait for the NRD-545.
