FWIW, I've hrd KBS and CNR1 1170 multiple times from home this season, but I've never hrd. VOA from home or at Grayland. KBS has Mandarin at 1400, CNR is all Mandarin, and VOA has Cantonese at times, so there's plenty of potential for confusion. Bruce Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T -Origin

Hi Nick, Yes, I remember the discussion over Walt's initial 1170 Chinese MP3 made at 1358 on 9-9, in which the Chinese dialect was clearly identified here as Mandarin, not Cantonese. I believe that Bill Harms also mentioned that VOA would have a Cantonese program at the time of Walt's recor

Oh my, that was a bit of a ride Started listening around 1320, and all the regulars were in, but there was plenty of splatter as well. About 1405 things started to liven up slowly, and by 1420 some of the second tier stations were dropping serious field strength into the neighborhood. I

really belated report: I think I got my first ever TP too -- Japan 747 / 774 last year at this time, with my 7030 plugged into the Toyota, and a LW laid out on the beach. But I never did get an ID, even though Colin assured me the format matched (English lessons). I intended to try again soon but

I'm in the midst of making some minor modifications to the Wellbrook Array here and that may have affected my morning results. In any case, my results were "Uninspiring" this morning they weren't bad, weren't good, just sorta low normal. The upper band seemed down, especially, though there

Hello All, About a month ago Walt sent me an MP3 of a Chinese station mixing with KPUG-1170 at a pretty good level, and recently it seemed that everyone except me had heard the KBS mega-station mixing with the Bellingham, WA (sports talk) domestic station. Running out of easy Ultralight TP'

Yesterday morning (Oct 19) at 1355 UTC I noticed using a DX-375 a strong het on 690, presumably from JOAB however no audio could be pulled out. This led me today to check the Japan frequencies, using a barefoot GE Superadio II. The het was still there from 1340 - 1400, but still no audio. Tu

Many thanks to Pat, Mike and Walt for the kudos. Congrats Mike! It does surprise me you don't have Alaskans all over the dial, as close as you are. I might be closer in terms of miles Pat, but Alaskans from here are far from easy. All my recent catches have been early morning around local sun
