Chuck, Your advice about the Grayland Master Log is appreciated.
I'll continue to monitor 1143 for more detailed evidence on the identity of the Chinese station(s), while checking to see if any of them are parallel to 738-BEL2. Even if this morning's 1143 Chinese was Henan, BEL3 should show up sooner or later. 73, Gary -----Original Message----- From: Chuck <[email protected]> To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Sep 21, 2013 7:18 pm Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP Lions Bay BC 21 Sep 2013 Gary - Buyer beware.... the Grayland Master Log has not been updated since 2008. Check out individual reports for post 2008 logs. The 2009 Grayland report lists a 1143 Henan log.

I suppose that a Mainland Chinese station could have come up out of the blue to dominate the frequency with no trace of BEL3, but it seems unlikely to me (not impossible, though). > > The 1143-Chinese recording linked below wrapped up at 1338, and the 738 kHz parallel check recording linked after it was switched on within a couple of seconds (after FSL tuning to 738). Unless there was a sudden change of programming within a couple of seconds (or unless the 1143 Chinese was actually a mystery Mainland station), the evidence would indicate that the two stations were not running parallel programming. > > http://www.mediafire.com/listen/r2520o5h9e51j7x/1143-BEL3-1338z092113PL380.MP3 > > http://www.mediafire.com/listen/33ddlsx473lardz/738-BEL2-1338z092113PL380.MP3 > > > Of course, if I am proven wrong, I will be happy to invite you all to the > best restaurant in Grayland (knowing full well that almost all of you will decline the offer). > > 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA, USA) > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Chuck <[email protected]> > To: Mailing list for the International Radio Club of America <[email protected]> > Sent: Sat, Sep 21, 2013 2:36 pm > Subject: Re: [IRCA] TP Lions Bay BC 21 Sep 2013 > > > Gary - > > 738 has the same program as 1143 and 1593 unless something changed very > very recently. > > BEL2 and BEL3 are just call letters rather than networks. > > Got a recording?
