As a comparison, here's how 1035 sounded at 1400 UTC during a DXpedition
to Grayland WA several years ago. I counted 4-5 sets of pips & time
checks, making for a wild mess.

Gary, you may have better audio on that 1035 frequency than can be
heard in Korea if you can get one station in well with just echoes in
the background.
This is how 1035 sounds locally from Seoul, and by locally, I mean
it's a skywave local, the only station(s) on the frequency. The main
station is from Dalian (50kw), 303 miles across the water. The rest
are just lower-power CNR-1 repeaters. But as you can hear from the
clip, it's basically unlistenable as a local aside from being right in
Dalian itself or near one of the repeaters.
CNR-1 does a crappy job with synching as compared to Korean and
Japanese stations (Japanese ones are especially superb with that).
Plus, CNR goes off the air at 1405 UTC mid-sentence every night. They
could improve. But I could say the same about some of the other
networks in Shandong, Liaoning, and Jilin. Some are downright creepy
sounding.

And a good example of a listenable echo signal in a hilarious sort of
way (one station is a few *seconds* behind). This is the Sound of the
Great Northern Wilderness network on 1476 (Heilongjiang / Harbin-based
//873, a station that broadcasts Chinese half the time and Korean -
only half-understandable by South Koreans as it's a North Korean
dialect used up there - the remainder of the time). This clip is a
radio story in Korean. Echo-y to say the least.
