You wouldn't be trying to make political points against your favorite pariah state; now would you ARRL?

NK just got around to make a ski lift. So don't rush them for leisure activities, they will get around to amateur radio when they can figure out a political angle. One leisure activity at a time, please.

Sure can't say that about Cuba now - lol!

Politics?? P5 has been at the top of the list since......well.....almost forever. Someone should have given Dennis Rodman an FT-857 and a roll of wire to take along with him.

One of our local hillbillies got his.

I guess Ya'all will just have to join the CB crowd and talk to Mark, 100AT101 in South Korea on 11m if you want the next best thang!

Damm. I don't have any of those. I thought I might have had one but nope.

South Korea is no big deal. It's NORTH Korea that is the rare one.......well nonexistent actually.

I got south korea on three bands and two modes. No north korea.

 

[Klondike Mike]

Well, it looks like its time to "throw down the gauntlet". We've got our best people working on it right now. May the best "band" win!

I don't know if there is such a thing as amateur radio in NK. You wouldn't want to
try and do a DX-pedition there because you might get fed to the dogs.

I hear they check your name against QRZ when your at the border.

There is no amateur radio activity in North Korea. Period. None. Zero. Nodda.

As for your question, Google "amateur radio most wanted countries".
