Hi Nick, Yes, I remember the discussion over Walt's initial 1170 Chinese MP3 made at 1358 on 9-9, in which the Chinese dialect was clearly identified here as Mandarin, not Cantonese. I believe that Bill Harms also mentioned that VOA would have a Cantonese program at the time of Walt's recording, not Mandarin. From what I recall, the conclusion was that Walt was not receiving VOA-Phippines, in that September 9 MP3. This morning the 1170 Chinese station format sounded very much like the typical CNR1 programming (with Chinese music), but the signal dipped below a loud KBS signal before any check could be made of a parallel. I don't know if VOA Philippines would play Chinese music or not during their Cantonese program, but Bruce's recent Grayland report mentioned CNR1 mixing with KBS on 1170, both over KPUG. The Chinese station received this morning is still an UnID mystery, and will be investigated more here in the next few days. Meanwhile, I have my own 1170 mix MP3 of both TP's, winning the battle over KPUG :-) 73, Gary In a message dated 10/20/2009 10:44:07 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

Isn't VoA Philippines supposed to broadcast Cantonese until 1500UT, Gary?
