I am using: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ to try to find "The voice of Korea"  
The site is in the Netherlands so i need to find no only the right band but the right time also.

schedule:
http://www.northkoreatech.org/2013/10/25/voice-of-korea-schedule-for-winter-20132014/

Voice of Korea in English hear via Twente:

11635  KHz   19:00 utc  to 20:00 utc  or 3:00 pm EST

This is the best frequency for North Korea's English service, it has been coming in really well on this frequency at this time lately. It is also well heard on 11645 KHz at 16:00 utc or 12:00 am EST. There are lots of other good English frequencies for NK here:

Just add 4 hours to UTC to get EST

The video guy seems to think he is hearing VOK on 120.14 KHz.

he shows the radio & it is set on 12014 Khz not 120.14. There,s a big difference. A G5 wouldn't even receive at that frequency.

You don't enter DOTS on that kind of radio... there is not even a DOT button!!!

My point is ( I can't believe nobody understands this) There is a decimal point in the frequency that this fellow states in the caption in the video 120.14 & 12014 are NOT the same thing.
