PBS North Korea 855kHz

I don't recall seeing anyone in the US ever logging this and I didn't think I would hear it, but it showed up this past Tuesday here in Alaska. They've got some transmitter hum and a bit of a het, plus KICY 850's audio is really loud and wide. KICY is almost impossible to null.

BUT you can make out.. barely, the tell tale operatic North Korean music in this clip:
 
I've heard the Pyongyang Pangsong broadcast on 657 kHz at good strength via an online SDR in Masset, British Columbia (the Haida Gwaii SDR.) Supposedly runs 1500kw, so you might try for that in Alaska.

I've heard 657, 819, 873 and 729. (or is it 792? i forget whithout lookign at my logs)

I'm pretty close to a 660 and 820 so the NK freq's on 657 and 819 get splattered hard sometimes
 
I've copied Pyongyang Pangsong on 657 camping at the Washington coast at least a couple times within the last 10 years. Just barely; CFFR and KTNN's sidebands usually trash it.

It's easy to identify since North Korean music is pretty unmistakable.

Has anybody managed to log the shortwave DRM simulcast on IIRC 3205 (or successfully decode it) in the mainland Best Coast or AK/HI?
 
I have heard Pyongyang 855 here, but only during that great phase of trans-Pacific DX in the last few days of October and first few days of November 2018. KCBS-819 is not easy either, right next to KGNW, but they make it about 2-3x a year. 657 is much easier and obvious by their military marches and propagandic songs saluting the Kim family.
They are often heard on their 49 and 31m SW broadcasts (the KCBS feeds, not the Voice of Korea), and I have heard KCBS on 2850khz in the past.
