For those in North America who have wondered about the reason for the powerful Chinese stations on 783 and 909 kHz, as Chris Kadlec has mentioned, they are used for propaganda broadcasts to Taiwan. These mega-stations were both blasting into Poipu, Hawaii with their usual S9+ signals this morning, just prior to their sign off.
The 5+1 pips and full Chinese ID of 783-Voice of the Straight were recorded just prior to sign off at 1601 https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/6cbton9gqiqvqiwe6ewfc8u0aoztv4dm The full sign off of 909-CNR6 at 1603 (with about 5 Chinese ID's in 3 minutes) is posted at https://dreamcrafts.box.com/s/urhk66t4mqunezupi99r0red0pt4u7ub This is just a minor sample of the enhanced Hawaii propagation, which has been a stunner all week long.
