Glenn -- Thanks for the query. The listing I mentioned is the new WRTH bar-graph, which shows Sound of Hope as 1 kw. The TOH fanfare sounded nothing like what I usually hear from CNR1. (I've heard CNR1 on top of Taiwan on 5010, and it's regular CNR1 programming, parallel to 11710.) So I don't think this was CNR1.
Also, signal level seemed not inconsistent with what I would expect from a 1 kw signal on 20 meters from that part of the world on a good day, based on my time as an amateur radio operator. -- Art Delibert > Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 15:46:30 -0800 > From: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [HCDX] Sound of Hope Radio? > To: [email protected]; [email protected] > > Art, What listing is that?
