I don't know anyone personally, but the direct email address for FEBC in
South Korea is <3580402@xxxxxxxxxxx>.

I don't have the technical details, but what you experience is quite
probable from the fact that Japanese is the only language beamed toward NE
from Cheju, as shown in one of the green circles (directional patterns) on
this map (URL below). We have the exact same pattern here in Japan. We can
hear all their night-time transmissions but only Japanese is strong enough
for your car radio.

All the other languages are beamed to either W/NW (Russian) or W/SW
(Chinese). Korean is probably nondirectional.
