Hello All,
It was an excellent morning here for both the Asian big guns and the
second-tier Chinese stations, especially the CRI foreign service stations on
963, 1017 and 1044. The 963-CRI Russian service managed its best signal here in
years with a vibrant fade in at 1336, while the 1017-CRI Korean service did the
same thing with potent signals at 1342. Rare Chinese audio on 918 (Shandong?)
started off the session around 1305, and there was also fair Chinese audio on
603, 639, 756, 936, 981, 1377 and 1593.
657-Pyongyang finally had some welcome competition from a fair-strength Chinese
station (Henan?) around 1343, while 603 was quite a battleground all morning
with HLSA and the Chinese station (Hulun Buir?) fighting it out at roughly
equal strength. 738-BEL2 in Taiwan was back with the Chinese male host taking
calls only from females during his weird talk show (congratulations to Dennis
for hearing it this morning), and although 1143 did manage a few moments of
threshold Chinese audio at times, the mystery station didn't seem to be
parallel to 738 (once again). Almost all of the Asian big guns (594, 693, 747,
774, 828, 972, 1053, 1134, 1287, 1566 and 1575) had very good to excellent
audio at times this morning, with 972-HLCA the most potent of the bunch with
Korean female talk at 1355. In summary it was a very interesting and diverse
session, and certainly one of the best in the new season.
