Re: [HCDX] CHINA - CRI MEDIUM WAVE BROADCASTS TO AUSTRALIA

["Glenn Hauser" <ghauser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone has misunderstood the schedule as published in CRI`s The Messenger. 
There they make clear that 1341 is for SE Asia and 1188 is for S Asia, 
during English transmissions which happen to be at the same time as on SW 
frequencies for South Pacific.

Bob,

I'm no expert on China or Australia but I know a couple of things
about mediumwave propagation.

I would suggest that hearing China on MW in Oz as being pretty damned
difficult and that maybe, just maybe this person -- who I assume is
more of a 'normal' individual than a Beverege-bound MW DXer -- might
be listening to a re-broadcast of CRI programming on a station in Oz.

I'll even bet that the Chinese know better than to try and broadcast
'specifically for Australia' on mediumwave.

Trying to reach Australia from China on MW is a lot like trying to
reach Chile on MW from Belize!  Can't be done!
