China – Beibu Bay Radio, 9820 kHz, 1032 – 1100. I’ve been looking for this one for a while, but the ionization levels have just been too low and the MUF on the path between here and China wasn’t getting high enough in the hour after our local sunrise. But with yesterday’s big jump in solar flux, the station was quite audible this morning, with a mix of pop music and talk in Chinese. Quick ID heard at 1045. Despite the signal level, the audio quality was pretty ragged because of the upset to the magnetic field. At 1100, it was apparent that another Chinese station had come on the frequency, likely the listed CNR 2, Xianyang, which is scheduled to sign on at 1100. Also suffers from a het on the LSB from the Brazilian on 9819+. (Delibert 9/5)
