Re: [IRCA] April 2017 Kona DXpedition Loggings and MP3's (Conclusion)

[d1028gary@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Chris (and Chuck), 

1566 only had a co-channel with HLAZ's Chinese service on two out of four days in Kona, and with dicey solar conditions (and some slop from 1570-KUAU in Maui) I was going up against the propagation grain. The MP3 with the 1566 Chinese pips on April 10th (in addition to HLAZ) at 1600 UTC accidentally got erased, but I didn't really consider it any great loss at the time because the Yanbian Jammer wasn't really my primary target on 1566 anyway :-) I'm not completely sure it was the standard 5 + 1 Chinese pips or the 4 + 1 pips that are featured in your Yanbian recording, but I do know that the pips (and the station's Chinese intonation) were enough to make me lose interest in the frequency pretty fast after that.

I'm on a different planet. Japan and Korea have always been 3+1 and most Chinese stations have 5+1 pips.

Gary, are you positive that you heard 5+1 time pips on 1566? 5+1 is pretty 
uncommon aside from a handful of stations over there. 4+1 is the norm for 
Korea, Japan, and a good deal of China, with some exceptions. Yanbian 
People's Radio is the standard 4+1 (beep beep beep beep BEEP). There isn't a 
lot else to hear over there that is more than just a few kilowatts (or even 
more than 1kw), just Jeju, Yanbian, and Pyongyang, all with a fair chunk of 
power of 20 to 250kw on 1566. So I'd guess that was Yanbian. Plus, the 
signal you recorded appears to be Mandarin. Unless you were lucky to hear 
another lower-powered station from far inland, I'd assume it's them. 

Yanbian should sound like this (this is their 1053 signal //1566) with the 
time pips at 2:32 and unmistakable jingle ID at 0:11 and 3:02, minus the 
local 1053 jammer from 6 miles away in the back, which is now off the air 
since North Korea turned off:
