Well according to the HFCC, for what it's worth, CRI do indeed use Brazil as a relay:
CRI 0100 0200 1234567 14,16 9665 250 BRA B 300303 261003 D RTC CRI 0300 0400 1234567 10-12 9665 250 BRA B 300303 261003 D RTC As you can see this information is supposed to be 'in date' and supposedly correct. Getting detailed information from CRI regarding sites and relays is not that easy. According to HFCC, CRI uses transmitting facilities in the following countries: China, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Spain (1 transmission from 0200-0400 on 9690), France (ISS), French Guiana, Mali and Russia. I hope this clears up where the confusion is coming from. 73 Sean Regards, Sean D.

The basis of my question is from a confusing comment on page 481 of the 2003 WRTH and I quote: in reference to China Radio International, "Relayed via: CRI Exchanges transmitting facilities with R. Canada Int, R. France Int, R. Exterior de Espana and V.O.Russia, also relay facilities in Brazil, Cuba and Mali." I can only assume the RFI facilities means France and/or French Guiana. Cuba, OK there are a good number of transmissions from there to the US. Mali is to Asia. So that leaves the "Brazil" relay. Maybe I should direct a query to CRI themselves and see if this is a WRTH typo or if they really have something down there.
