[HCDX] China on 1422 kHz

["Jose Jacob, VU2JOS, India" <dx_india@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Friends,
  
China Radio International was heard with their regular English program today 17th Dec. 2003 on 1422 kHz Medium Wave at 1400 UTC from their new transmitter site. This  is probably their first day of regular broadcast on that frequency. 1422 kHz is a clear frequencey in India as there is no AIR station operating on that channel now. Even on the nearby channels of 1413 and 1431, no AIR stations are operating now. But 1413 is occupied by BBC.

Earlier in the day they were heard on 21850 at around 1045 with test tones followed by western classical music without any id or announcements
