Hello All, This morning during excellent TP-DXing conditions there was one of the more bizarre Asiatic fade-ins that was ever observed here, and I was curious whether any of the other TP-DXers noticed it. Around 1333 UTC a weakened 657-Pyongyang BS Korean-speaking YL was alone on the frequency, when suddenly a Mandarin Chinese station appeared under Pyongyang and completely overcame the NK station within a minute, leaving no trace of Pyongyang _http://www.mediafire.com/?i3yln7vt34sw6k3_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?i3yln7vt34sw6k3) . The Chinese station was alone on the frequency at a strong level for 5 minutes, with apparent news and Chinese pop music _http://www.mediafire.com/?176l0s1w9way10x_ (http://www.mediafire.com/?176l0s1w9way10x) . After dominating the frequency for about 5 minutes, the UnID Chinese station finally faded back into the noise, allowing Pyongyang to weakly return to the frequency. Chinese has never been heard on 657 kHz here, so the station would be a new TP if I can determine the identity. Any suggestions from the Grayland experts would be appreciated. In addition to this reception, 891 kHz also had a strong UnID mystery here this morning, and several other frequencies had very interesting TP signals. I hope you guys had as much fun as I did! 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) Modified C.Crane SWP Ultralight + 9' PVC Loop _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca
