I finally had a decent TA opening here in Seattle. Audio on 693(the
strongest) 909 1215 and 1413. Good carriers on 855 864 and 1386 that
might reveal something after closer scrutiny of the SDR recordings.
Lots of weaker carriers on 765 774 783 1107 1125 1341 1422 1458 1566 and
1575. All in

is very correct. A few km out of town, and you can completely lose the CBC

briefly):

Thanks for the alert Colin. Just got back from the daughter's
basketball game, so can't say if I missed the sunset peak that sometimes
happens, but right now I've got plenty of carriers, but minimal audio.
Occasional audio on 855, 864, 1089, 1413. Rather oddly, Egypt on 864

Just leaving work and good carriers already!
Hets on the car radio up on campus!

As most transoceanic DXers are aware, the Hawaiian Islands offer an exceptional
opportunity for AM-DXing hobbyists to chase enhanced, salt water-boosted

Well, Radio One/88.1 pretty much disappears while driving once Hwy 99
turns the Big Bend and heads north from Horseshoe Bay, only about 20km
west of the Mt Seymour tx, and reception from the Squamish FM relay is
spotty till you're well up Howe Sound. Residents in parts of HB and

I don't know if the pattern has changed Neil, but Jon Pearkins was
mentioning that they were moving to some sort of "modulation
dependent carrier level" scheme. This seems to mean that the carrier
level drops as modulation level increases. At the least, it means
savings on the power bill, as
I was a very NON-English "accented" YL that could have been someone very
much NOT Mandarin or Vietnamese --
No recording - as you have discovered: likely CNR11.
Your recording could also be something other than VIET -- but it seemed
pretty clear that it was not Mandarin.

Did you get a recording this morning?
I suspect you might have been hearing CNR11. At 1539UT, there was
some quite un-Anglo music (flutes and ?) heard here, followed by a
woman talking, all //6015, and the north Flag was what was hearing it.
I am wondering if it was CNR11 yesterday also.

So a station should just continue to pour money into something and spend
tons and tons of money for maybe a few hundred or few thousand listeners?

At first it sounded like very relaxed standard Chinese based on my
"initial" absorption or cognition of what similarities exist between
Vietnamese and Mandarin (there are some...)
like the "ugh" and "Chu" sounds and "ang" sounds - BUT there were some
tones more typical of Vietnamese in there -
thats what internet streaming and relays in other towns/villages are for..
clean up the AM band a bit...

If you ignore the fact that CBC 690 is listened to hundreds of miles away
by BC residents... where the FM signal does not reach...
then maybe the AM signal is redundant...
IMHO.

Was doing a quick test on some gear this morning so listening was not a
high priority -
That said, there was, what sounded like English news as read by a YL on
1098 - which was (at that moment)
the strongest TP signal on the band - I half suspect it was the Marshall
Islands actually running BBC
And with nearly 100kw on FM, that 50kw on AM isnt really needed.

Northwest Broadcasters is reporting that CBC Radio One in Vancouver CBU 690
has now decreased power from 50,000 to 25,000 watts fulltime. The reduction
in power was necessitated after a fire destroyed part of the stations
