[HCDX] Chinese station(s) on 1350 kHz

[Karel Honzík <karel-honzik@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
at a DX camp I heard one or two Chinese stations on 1350 kHz. Maybe somebody could bring
more light into what I actually heard:

25 JANUARY 2004

1350 kHz

2107 UTC - Chinese-like talk mixing with Gavar, Armenia (DW relay)
2130 UTC - Gavar left the air, the "Chinese" station remained quite clear on the channel.
Although the language sounded Chinese, I am not sure it was a standard Chinese (otherwise
I think I am able to recognize Chinese). The station started fading out after 2130, so it
seemed to be no chance for an ID at 2200.
When I came back to this frequency at 2158, I heard a fair signal in Chinese. It was not
CNR-1. At 2230 UTC the station relayed news from Beijing (what all Chinese stations seem
to do at this time). The signal was delayed by 7 seconds compared to 4800 kHz.
The station faded-out for the day at 2250 so there was no chance again to hear an ID at
TOH.

There were more Chinese signals on AM that evening:

1359 kHz - CNR 1 heard until close down at 1733 UTC, then again from sign on at 2000...
1377 kHz - CNR 1 strong under France at around 2145...

The evening before  - 24 JANUARY:

1476 kHz - China - fair signal at 2350 UTC, the program continues over the top of the
hour, fading-out at 0025... Not parallel to CNR-1, maybe CNR-2 (have not found this
program elsewhere to check it)...
