Agree w/ everything you said MDK2, also have to add, these two announcers have AFAIK been the same for many years (decades?)... it's amazing they have anyone speaking English at all, so we have to give these two announcers credit for at least the "college try". Can't imagine there are a ton of anglos around to practice with. Also, you are correct the YL is far easier to copy than the OM.

Yes. I found some old DPRK-produced documentary on youtube, going back to the days of Kim Il Sung (probably the 80s judging by the "Great Leader's" physical appearance, plus the presence of Kim Jong Il by his side - he had been designated the heir apparent around 1980 and started showing up at all the photo ops with dad at that time). And who was doing the English narration but Mr. VOK himself, sounding quite a bit younger but with the same telltale inflection and pronunciation.

Wow ↑ that's interesting. We're probably all "good at" recognizing voices; I know I am. So i'll definitely take ur word on that. I just heard a HAM on 40M that I recognize as one of the biggest skip-shooters that I hear on CB
