P6TOWJW4, North Korea just showed up on FT8 30M!  Very VERY rare.

NOPE North Korea is NOT on the Ham Bands

There is sometimes a Pirate using a P5 Call

More often often miscopied callsigns, or someone has miss typed their callsign in the setup area of WSJTX

or is just “playing”

F6PTT is often on the bands with CW and his call call is often miscopied as a p5

Saying North Korea is Rare is the understatement of the century

However, I thank you for the momentary excitement that scared my cardiologist :)

The last known pirate call I saw was P5/G0YCE and that was this past November
The signal was strong from Europe and weak when beaming towards Asia

I get Texts alerts for the few countries that I have Not worked, I need Seven and expect I will become a SK
before anyone gets on the air from North Korea and lives to tell the Tall Tale.
Let alone a documented Licensed Operation.

Cheers!
