Japanese stations were in short supply today, and Koreans weren't much
better. Chinese on the other hand were quite plentiful. My 1116
station turned out to be CNR2 thanks to a much better signal today. I
had two stations on 1098: one with the CNR1 programming we've been
hearing all season, the other with unusual music and talk in a language
I didn't recognize. Possibly CNR11 (Tibetan service) One was likely
the 1000 kw TX listed in Golmud, but I'm not sure which it was, or for
that matter where the second station is located.
558 S KOREA, 1359 good with the usual Happy FM stuff, time tone & songs
567 JAPAN, JOIK, 1359 Japanese conversation, then 3+1 pips at ToH &
man with news. Fair-good signal but much splat
585 JAPAN, JOPG, 1400 weak pips & Japanese talk
594 JAPAN, JOAK, 1431, Japanese discussion good, was mostly poor-nil
earlier
603 CHINA, Chinese talk mixing with Korea 1307 1400 1432 & other times
621 UNID, 1400 poor in horrific KCIS-630 splash, sounded like Chinese
time pips & inst music across ToH, then someone talking
639 CHINA, CNR1, 1400 fair poor in KCIS splash with the usual time
pips, anmts, & ID

675 VIETNAM, 1302 stringed instrument music, then man & woman in
Vietnamese good

810 CHINA, 1400, 5+1 pips ending at 1400:08, then bits of Chinese
talk mixing with KGO & KTBI
819 DPRK, 1407 dreamy orchestral music mixing with unid Chinese talk

855 DPRK, 1406 woman talking in Korean, a bit muffled with bits of
unid station in background
864 S KOREA 1400 very poor with 3+1 pips & bits of male talk
891 UNID, 1422 bits of talk sounded Chinese, and other bits sounding
maybe Korean, along with bits of music. Rather weak audio but huge carrier.
900 CHINA, 1400 two sets of slightly off-sync 5+1 pips, then ghostly
sounding talk with very noticeable echo, poor u/CKBI
918 UNID, 1408, Chinese talk in 920 splash probably Shandong
936 CHINA, 1417 woman in Chinese fair-poor probably Anhui
945 CHINA, CNR1. 1400 poor with the usual ToH stuff, lots of KJR
splash. Better 1430 with time tones & talk but still plenty of KJR
splash today

(Tibetan service)
1116 CHINA, CNR2, 1400, good w/clear ID as "Zhngyang Renmin Guangbo
Diantai, Jingji zhi Sheng". This was apparently what I heard yesterday,
rather than CNR5. The music was similar, but yesterday's ID was far murkier
